The 20 Safest Places To Live In South Jersey

There are many factors that impact home buyers' decisions for why they will choose to live in one community compared to another, but there is one issue that is an overwhelming factor.

According to a survey by Redfin and Qualtrics, over 72 percent of Americans say Safety is a Must-Have Feature when searching for a new home.  This survey of thousands of United States Citizens found that Safety and Lower Cost of Living are two of the top three Reasons People Move to New Homes.

NBC News Reports that only 47 percent of the United States has affordable homes for sale and Economists say that most of the Housing Market has properties that are not in the price range for many Americans.

So if many Americans have to resign themselves to paying higher prices for their next home, they will turn their focus to where they can live that is safest for their family.
