“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!
When I saw “Queens” on the list I was lol.
I had to stay there on business once with a couple of other co-workers.
The scenery in the cab ride from the airport to the hotel looked like Chernobyl.
We never even dared go outside the hotel to smoke at night.
Isn’t there an old saying along the lines of , you can use statistics to come to any conclusion?
Many of these so-called safest places are in and around New York City. New York City has many world-class medical facilities. But is that really a legitimate Criterion regarding your own personal health and safety in these places?
It sounds like their criteria really are not very accurate as far as measuring one’s personal safety in these places.
