Chesterfield ranked as the “Safest Place to Live in Missouri” by Movoto Real Estate

Chesterfield, Missouri was ranked the number one “Safest Place to Live in Missouri”, an annual list generated by Movoto Real Estate.  This is second year Chesterfield has been featured on this list, rising two spots from third place in 2014, replacing last year’s winner, Town and Country.

The rankings are determined by the FBI’s crime statistics from the 2013 Uniform Crime Report from the 74 cities with over 10,000 people in the State of Missouri. Each crime was divided into four categories; murders, violent crimes, property crimes, and total crimes. Each crime was then calculated by the number of crimes per person and ranked from 1 to 74 in each category.  The rankings were also weighted so that murders, violent crimes, and property crimes made up 30 percent of the overall score, while the total number of crimes made up just 10 percent.

Movoto is a full-service real estate brokerage firm that provides powerful search tools and information and knowledgeable top agents.
