Do you have a job relocation to Oakland County? Or are you moving back closer to family?  Or are you just moving from another city in Michigan.  If you are trying to decide where to move to Michigan and considering Commerce Township as a place to live you may be wondering if Commerce  MI is safe. The other top question home buyers ask besides how good the schools are is.......Will my family be safe in Commerce Township if you move there?

My answer to that is a resounding YES

Commerce Twp is a very safe to live in!

Commerce Township crime statistics report an overall downward trend in crime based on data from 5 years with violent crime increasing and property crime decreasing. Based on this trend, the crime rate in Commerce Township for 2021 is expected to be lower than in 2019.

The western part of the city seems to have a little more random crime than the rest of the city in the last year. See the section on interpreting the crime map, however, because comparing rates for crime or any other crime is not as intuitive as it may seem.
