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.

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.

The article mentioned “gun violence” which means whoever wrote it is dangerously insane.

These lefty clowns seem to think that guns have AI that sends them out hunting and killing people.

I bet the safest areas of the USA have something in common... I wonder what it could be.

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!

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.

Queens and Brooklyn (Kings county)... as if these are safer than a rural county in Iowa or Montana.

The author(s) are FOS with some agenda.

They ranked high as far as access to emergency facilities.

So they consider those places safe because if you are a crime victim you will be near the emergency medical facilities needed to take care of you?

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.

I’d bet you’re right. I think it’s been proven over and over.

So, if I had a bullet wound, I’d want a hospital with an unseemly-high experience rate?

Our rural NH town has a history of three recent murders. NONE have gone to court.

OTOH, after 60 years, my first NH loss by theft occurred last winter. Although it was only $200, I reported the theft to town police. The article was returned the same week.

Florida was a whole ‘nother matter—neighborhood kids needing Marijuana stole irregularly from my truck.

That’s the cool/dangerous thing about Statistics, you can massage the input data parameters, as well as data modifiers & calculation formulas to get pretty much any result you want.

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.

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