- Property crime and violent crime rates of 7.5 and 12.8, respectively, are a fraction of the corresponding national averages of 22.7 and 35.4. Seniors and their families moving here from other cities may be comforted by the town's low crime.

At 35 inches, the town's annual rainfall is three inches less than the U.S. average, and it receives 29 inches of snow a year, on par with the national average.
