When you are looking to settle down, there are some important factors to consider. How are the schools? Do you live in a safe neighborhood? What is the crime-rate for the town? How is the healthcare?

These are all things folks think about when looking for a place to call home.

I suppose the answer to that question would depend on who you ask, or what data you are looking at, however, for our purpose, we are going to look at towns with a population of ten thousand or more.

So, which town would you think is the safest?

What's the safest town in Montana?

According to the data, the safest town with a population of ten thousand or more is Bozeman. According to Area Vibes, Bozeman has a crime rate that is just over 3 percent higher than the national average, making it the safest city in Big Sky Country. It seems Kalispell is also a safe place to call home.

What do you think? Is Bozeman a safe city? Is it a good place to raise a family? I've lived here for years, and I rarely hear a siren and I can't think of too many times that I've ever felt unsafe.
