Sterling Heights ranks as the #10 safest city in America. LoveExploring says Sterling Heights makes the list, not only for its low crime rates but also for its strong community ties and overall quality of life:

Part of the Detroit metro area, Sterling Heights is Michigan’s fourth-largest city. It boasts plenty of open spaces, with 31 parks and 15 miles of trails, as well as hosting lots of events and festivals throughout the year.
