How many homicides were in Fairfield, CT in 2010?
The homicide rate for 2010 is not released until 2011, but I imagine it will be a small number. Fairfield is well known for its very low crime rate, and it's unusual for them to have more than 1 homicide per year!

About Crime Rate
The crime rate of a neighborhood, town or city is usually expressed in crimes per capita, or per thousand persons. Small towns with a few murders per year can seem especially violent due to the small denominator, which creates a high 'rate' of crime. Be sure to read crime statistics carefully as they can be deceptive.
