Now for a complete surprise:
I ran a comparison of TV with Brookville, NY, where I went to HS, on the same site:
Best Places to Live | Compare cost of living, crime, cities, schools and more. Sperling's BestPlaces
Brookville is old money north shore LI, right out of "The Great Gatsby". Nothing but mansions, horse farms, and even new construction is zoned on 5 acre lots. There are only 350 homes in the whole community. I would have expected the violent crime rate to be just about 0. However, that rate was 19.2 compared with 13.8 in TV. Even the property crime rate was slightly higher at 23. So with 120,000 residents here in winter, I am even more amazed at the low crime rate.
