A real, well-below-national crime rate

Berea's violent crime rate ran 4.14 times below the national average (a 1-in-1,153 annual victimization chance) and 2.46 times below the Kentucky average -- genuinely safer than 71% of U.S. cities.

A real, in-city critical access hospital

Saint Joseph Berea, a real 25-bed critical access hospital established in 1898 on Berea College's own grounds, anchors in-city healthcare access with a fully staffed 24-hour emergency department -- a genuine differentiator for a city Berea's size.
