Crime |
City-Data reports that crime is higher than the national index - 611 vs. 319. Cityrating.com confirms that for both violent and property crimes. That said, retirees should remember that crime is all about neighborhood - in the areas they are likely to live and frequent crime is undoubtedly low. |

What people are saying about Beaufort | |
Beaufort a quaint charming town | |
Beaufort reminds me of a river town of long gone era..Beautiful with shops restaurants and water..I can see why it has a top rating as far as livability..You not only can live in a old charming town with lots to do(Festivals, arts etc) and you are so close to many interesting places of which you can drive to within a couple hours...Charleston(35 minutes) Hilton Head(30 minutes) Savannah (35 minutes) Jacksonville (2 hours) and Myrtle Beach (2 hours)...Crime is high in my opinion in the area of tourist crime (break in of cars)and theft.. Very little violent crime that I can see...Overall to us a perfect area...Oh did I mention the food..Come see and enjoy... | |

Its Overrated as a top spot | |
Downtown Beaufort is a Mini very Mini Charelston you can experience it in 2 hours. Just outside the downtown there is poverty every where with run down neighborhoods, reading the local paper on the web I read the crime reports, there is a lot of violent crime ,theft and burgulary. We were hoping to look to retire here but dont feel safe. I dont understand why they rate Beaufort so high on the list | |
