Well how about Charlotte, NC Myrtle Beach, SC and Tupelo, Amory, MS?

The very basic numbers according to BestPlaces.net are:

Charlotte pop. 600,000 - Violent Crime 8, Property Crime 7
Myrtle Beach pop. 23,000 (metro area total pop is 200,000) - Violent Crime 8, Property Crime 8
Tupelo pop. 34,000 - Violent Crime 5, Property Crime 7
Armory pop. 7,000 - Violent Crime 4, Property Crime 7

National Average - Violent Crime 3, Property Crime 3

Again these are very basic number, and all were gotten from the link I gave you above. You're going to have to do real research to determine anything useful. I live in Southern California, so I cannot relay any personal experiences with those places at all. It seems like many of the places you are considering are really quite small and rural, so there are other very important things to look into besides just crime such as economy, cost of living, health, education, and climate.

Turn off the Hollywood hype machine (movies and TV) and relaize that we're not all out getting mugged and raped all the time. It's just that going to the store and picking up a loaf of bread and returning home safely as usual doesn't make a very interesting movie, TV show, news report, etc. The vast majority of places are simply not very dangerous.
