Kinda mostly really small places on that list. I've been to Hibbing,
Minnesota, and its population was about the same as the middle-sized
(back then) university I attended. Duxbury, a suburb of Boston,
no?...smaller than Hibbing. Typically these small towns have lower crime
rates than substantial cities.
