WEST MICHIGAN — Nearly 10 million people call West Michigan home, and some of our communities have been ranked the safest to live in.
The website, backgroundcheck.org has released their list for 2016, and several communities in the area made the list.
Grandville was ranked 15, while Ionia was listed at 33, and both St. Joseph and Muskegon landed at number 36.
The website came up with list by considering violent crime stats from the FBI and what they call proprietary research.
