Quality of Life & Safety are more than just crime rates. Are you safe if your local roads aren’t designed to prevent crashes?
If your state lacks emergency preparedness infrastructure should a natural disaster strike? If there isn’t a robust safety net to ensure that your family won’t be out on the street if times get tough?
WalletHub set out to find the safest and least safe U.S. states by looking at more than 50 factors to help determine what makes a place safe to live and raise a family. It grouped its metrics into five categories — personal and residency safety, financial safety, road safety, workplace safety, and emergency preparedness.
