    Safest Cities in the US

    Oct. 23, 2024
    A survey ranks cities on risks such as natural disasters and community safety.

    Earlier this month a report, Safest Cities in America ( 2024) was released by WalletHub.

    The survey looked at 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across three dimensions: 1) home & community safety, 2) natural-disaster risk, and 3) financial safety.

    Within these dimenstions 41 relevant metrics were applied.

    While this slideshow deals with the safest cities, here are those that ranked at the bottom of the list. 

    173. San Bernardino, California 

    174. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    175. Oakland, California

    176. Cleveland, Ohio

    177. Baltimore, Maryland

    178. New Orleans, Louisiana

    179. Baton Rouge, Louisiana

    180. Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    181. Detroit, Michigan

    182. Memphis, Tennessee
