What on earth are they smoking??????

The only reason I’ve seen people in our very rural NH county die by reading the obits, is from old age.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I wouldn't call those counties "safe". I guess if you have lots of bucks and can live in a gated community. I'd hate to be a working person and try to make it those environs. No thanks.

Individual metrics include violent and property crime rates, the share of the population in proximity to emergency facilities, spending on health and emergency services, vehicle crash fatality rate and more.

Sugar butt two of those things have nothing to do with public safety.

Since those were the four things you chose to high light as examples stuff you included in your "study" and people chose their best rather then their worst I am going to conclude you are pushing a load of bovine product.

“Safest” counties based on “Accidental death rate”, “Population living close to emergency facilities”, “Vehicle crash fatality rate”, “Per capita spending on health and emergency services”, and only 2 of the counties rated safe due to the violent crime rate?!? “Weak Sauce” article...U.S. News must be really desperate for ad revenue clicks!

Someone went to a lot of work to create this screed.

NY and NJ sure show up a lot, LOL.

I think I'm much safer where I live now, rural Florida.

These idiots have probably never been west of the Hudson. Surprised they didn’t list south side of Chicago.

Wow! Almost all counties around Newyork City and around Washtington DC.

This is nothing more than a candy piece for the powerful elites

[9YearLurker]

Just like their measures of public schools: Gotta spend a lot of taxpayer money to get a good score. The actual results/circumstances get pushed down in measurement.

[mewzilla]

These stats are crap since so many PDs are no longer reporting their crime stats to the feds.

[Rlsau1]

Everything produced for public consumption passes through a political filter with some of the filters being quite extreme. It’s important to not only look at who’s producing the product, but under whose auspices it’s released.

[liberalh8ter]

This is such a BS list it’s beyond comprehension how it’s not parody. You’re unlikely to get in a car crash but murder? Good to go 👍🏻

[CtBigPat]

Sounds like the ranking someone did of best places to work that was based almost entirely on how gay friendly the area was.

11. San Mateo County, California

You will need a LOT of $$$ to live there. My cousin, medical doctor, wife, cardio surgeon live there.
