Portsmouth - Rochester, NH one of top 3

The Farmers rankings, compiled by database experts at www.bestplaces.net, took into consideration crime statistics, extreme weather, risk of natural disasters and job loss numbers in 331 U.S. municipalities. The 2005 study divided the communities into three groups: large metropolitan areas, mid-size cities and small towns.

“Living, working and raising a family in a safe, secure area is important to many people,” said Jeff Beyer, senior vice-president & chief communications officer for Farmers. “It’s a form of protection. Whether it’s employment security, a stable climate or a low crime rate, we’d all like to find a place to live or work that provides us that feeling of well-being.”
