Threats to safety in the U.S. range from health crises and natural disasters to financial challenges like unaffordable mortgages, lack of health insurance, and inflation. While no place is risk-free, the level of danger we face often depends on where we live. This map, via Visual Capitalist's Kayla Zhu, visualizes the 50 safest cities in America according to WalletHub, which analyzed 182 cities across 41 key metrics to assess overall safety. The three main categories of metrics analyzed are: Home and community safety: Law enforcement per capita, prevalence of terrorist attacks, mass shootings, murders, Natural disaster risk: Earthquake risk, flood risk, hurricane storm surge risk, wildfire risk Financial safety: Unemployment rate, uninsured population, foreclosure rate The data is updated as of August 27, 2024 and was collected from the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Bureau of Investigation, TransUnion, and other sources. Which Cities are the Safest in America? Below, we show the 50 safest cities in America based on WalletHub’s analysis.

This region generally has lower natural disaster risks compared to other areas, contributing to higher safety scores. South Burlington, the second largest city in Vermont, ranked first overall as the safest city in America. It has one of the lowest pedestrian fatality rates in the nation and one of the highest number of EMTs and paramedics per capita, according to WalletHub. The city also ranks highly for financial stability, boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the U.S. at 1.9%, the second-lowest share of seriously underwater mortgages, and the third-lowest rate of non- business bankruptcy filings per capita over the past year. These indicators suggest that residents are financially secure, with a lower risk of facing unpaid bills, property loss, or homelessness.

I'll be damned. It was my understanding that Burlington, VT is filled drug addled homeless.
“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Perhaps they put laudanum in their water supply.
I wish they would mine. No doubt ! (Just kidding !)
Liar. ;) Seems the patent medicines circa 1850 plus and or minus a score or two were much safer than what pfizer et al have cooked up in this day and age.
Haven't you heard? Natural vegetation is toxic unless mashed up with acids, bases, or some heavy metals to a) extract nutrients only to charge more to add back later “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them.
