flag St. Ignatius, Montana, a town under 1,000 people, ranks as the state’s top burglary hotspot despite its close-knit, open culture.

flag St. Ignatius, a Montana town with fewer than 1,000 residents, has been identified as the state’s top burglary hotspot in a new SafeWise report, defying expectations given its rural, close-knit nature. flag Despite a culture of openness and often unlocked doors, the town ranks highest in burglary incidents, with small towns under 1,000 people accounting for a large share of U.S. burglary hotspots. flag Experts attribute the trend to limited home security systems and familiarity among residents, which may reduce vigilance. flag Nationally, burglaries average $6,000 in losses, and only about a quarter of Americans have security systems, a pattern likely mirrored in Montana. flag Simple measures like deadbolts are recommended to help reduce crime even in tight-knit communities.
