Overall, the safest city in America is Fraklin, Massachusetts, but if you live in Wisconsin or Illinois, the chances of you packing up and moving to that spot are pretty slim.

Closer to home, there is a place that is considered nearly as safe as Franklin.

MSN via Mediafeed:

The safest cities in America tend to be suburban areas close to major cities like New York and Boston.

In order to get to this place, you'll have to get close to Milwaukee.

Checking in as the 8th safest city in America overall is Muskego, Wisconsin.

MSN via Mediafeed says "This cozy city sits within the orbit of Milwaukee and within the greater Chicago area."

Neatly seated by both two major cities should have big appeal for people with families who are able to commute to either metropolitan area for work.
