Facts:

National Violent crime rate: 31.1
Washington, DC rate: 90.9
The Villages rate: 13.8

National property crime rate: 38.1
Washington DC rate: 57.8
The Villages rate: 22.6

BTW, housing cost index on a national average of 100:
Washington: 274
TV: 134

Also, Ithaca NY was listed as the safest city under 150,000 in the country---with a violent crime rate of 18 and property crime rate of 51.2. I don't think TV was listed since it is not a "city", but CDDs spread over 3 counties.

Anyone feel "unsafe" now????
Excellent post.
