Two Chicago suburbs were recently recognized as among the safest places in America, with 16 making the top 100.
The two suburbs that cracked the top 10 in real estate analytics company NeighborhoodScout were Lake-In-The-Hills (number 6) and Bartlett (number 8).
To develop its rankings, the group considered overall population and the rate of individual crime types per one thousand residents such as burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, murder, rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault.
Buffalo Grove was ranked number 18 and Wheaton was number 21.
The city of Chicago didn't make an appearance in the safest or the companion "Most Dangerous" list.
