Top 10 Safest Cities In Louisiana For 2023
If you live in Louisiana, have you ever wondered what is the safest city in Louisiana to live in? Our friends at Safewise.com have released a list of the 10 safest Louisiana cities to live in...
The list is compiled by using a few factors like property crimes, violent crimes, crime rate, and the state of security in the towns.
According to the report, Louisiana reported some of the highest crime rates in the nation for the 2023 reporting year. But it’s not all doom and gloom: property crime in The Pelican State decreased year over year. On the other hand, violent crime increased, and most Louisianans are concerned about experiencing gun violence or violent crime.
Three Southwest Louisiana cities did indeed make the list this year...
