They are two of the safest American cities for children. Some of the criteria for determining this were proximity to hospitals, bike helmet laws and how quickly firefighters respond.
Boston can sleep easy knowing that they live in the city with the most hospitals per capita and Portland, Oregon got kudos for its low drowning rates and air quality.
New York firefighters were the quickest to respond to emergencies, while Louisville pedestrians were among the least likely to be in a traffic accident.
Regardless of what urban city you live in its clear that most cities are doing great things to improve safety at home and in the community.
As a country our most precious assets are our children, making their lives safer and happier should be everyone's priority.
