The organization ranked Hopkinton 15th on the list. Hopkinton was ranked as 4th safest city in Massachusetts. Mass cities on the list before Hopkinton included: Wayland, Norfolk and Weston. "We narrowed it down based on the number of reported violent crimes (aggravated assault, murder, rape, and robbery) and property crimes (burglary, arson, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft) in each city. To further level the playing field, we calculated the likelihood of these crimes occurring out of 1,000 people in each city."
