In the past few years, Portland has been trying to fight crime, but in 2022, the city had a record number of murders. A new study found that Camas, Wash. is one of the safest suburbs in the U.S. The company looked at how safe each of the 370 suburbs of the 100 most significant towns in the country is and how much each one costs.
To compare each city, researchers looked at the physical crime rate, the property crime rate, the number of people who died in car accidents, the number of people who died from drug poisoning, and the number of people who drank too much.
