A DUBIOUS DISTINCTION FOR NEW MEXICO IN ANOTHER RANKING. THIS TIME IT’S FOR BREAK-INS. THE RANKINGS ARE FROM “A-SECURE-LIFE.COM,” A HOME SECURITY PROVIDER. THE COMPANY LOOKED AT THE NUMBER OF BURGLARIES PER CAPITA AND NEW MEXICO TOPPED THE LIST.
IT SAYS WE HAVE HAD THE MOST BREAK-INS FOR 2019, JUST AHEAD OF MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA. OKLAHOMA CAME IN FOURTH. AT THE OTHER END OF THE SCALE…NEW YORK. THE REPORT SAYS NEW YORK MAY HAVE THE BEST RANKING DUE TO THE LARGELY URBAN SETTING FOR MOST RESIDENTS, SOMETHING THAT CAN DISCOURAGE BREAK-INS. OTHERS WITH THE BEST RANKING INCLUDE NEW HAMPSHIRE, VIRGINIA AND CONNECTICUT.
