To find the most and least safe places in the United States, a new study by WalletHub scored 182 cities (including at least two of the largest in each state) across three categories of metrics.
The “home and community safety” category examined crime statistics, police and rescue workers per capita, traffic and pedestrian safety, among other data.
“Financial safety” scored each city on employment, job security, credit ratings, savings rates and the like.
For natural disasters, the capital city of Dover, Del.
Two cities in “Tornado Alley,” Oklahoma City and Wichita, Kan., had the highest risks for natural disasters, followed by six cities in California.
