8 Connecticut Towns Among 100 Safest in Country: Report

Do you live in one of the safest towns in the country?

A new report by home security company SafeWise ranks eight Connecticut municipalities among the 100 safest in the nation.

Here are the Connecticut towns that made the cut, and where they fall on the list:

4. Ridgefield
10. Weston
13. Darien
23. Newtown
73. Wilton
81. Madison
84. New Canaan
95. Suffield

The rankings derive from recent FBI crime statistics.

SafeWise noted that "Newtown was unfortunately thrust into the national spotlight" in 2012 when a gunman shot and killed 26 students and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School, but considered the tragedy an exception to the rule.

According to SafeWise, FBI data from the 10 years prior to the shooting and from 2013 indicate "very little violent crime occurred in Newtown."
