Chances of becoming a victim of property crime in Connecticut is low -- at 1 in 55, that's well below the national median. According to the FBI's 2017 data declaration of reported offenses, all parts of Connecticut have fewer instances of property damage than the majority of the U.S. The state as a whole boasts incredibly low crime rates of all ilk, as well as high median income and strong education systems, factors that lead to safer communities.Despite general safety, Connecticut does have social disparity -- between medium-sized cities and blighted, formerly industrial areas, infrastructure quality, economic health -- and that can contribute to petty crime. And because there's such a large percentage of commuters in Connecticut, the expectation that homes are empty homes can make whole neighborhoods more vulnerable.
