Ipswich Nudges Hamilton and Wenham on Safest Towns List

Ipswich is No. 22 on Safewise's list of the safest communities in Massachusetts, but Hamilton and Wenham are not on the list.

Ipswich - as well as a few other North Shore communities - have been listed among the "50 safest communities in Massachusetts."

However, conspicuously missing from the list is Hamilton and Wenham.

The Safewise.com list, released last week, highlighted the low crime rates and other local programs of nearby communities. North Shore and north of Boston communities on this list include Reading at No. 19, Ipswich at No. 22, Andover at No. 23, Lynnfield at No. 26, Winchester at No. 28, North Reading at No. 34, Marblehead at No. 43 and Winthrop at No. 46.
