Cranberry Township was recently ranked the ninth safest small town in the United States, according to MoneyGeek.

The study used four data points — crime cost per capita, violent crime rate, property crime rate and cost of crime — to rank 1,010 communities between 30,000 and 100,000 residents.

Cranberry Township showed a crime cost per capita of $78, a per capita violent crime rate of 17 per 100,000 residents, and a per capita property crime rate of 888 per 100,000 residents, and total crime cost of $2.683 billion.

The $78 compares to an average per-capita cost of crime in small cities of $1,155 in 2022.

“Cranberry’s commitment to keeping the community safe is getting national attention,” a Thursday announcement on the township’s website said.

Another Western Pennsylvania community, Mount Lebanon, was also included on the list of the 25 safest small towns and cities. It’s per-capita crime cost was $94, it’s per capita violent crime rate was 42 per 100,000 residents, it’s per capita property crime rate was 337 per 100,000 residents, and the total crime cost was $3.12 billion.
