These Are America’s Safest Cities

East Coast cities won first and second place rankings as the safest cities in America, according to a Monday WalletHub study.

Columbia, Maryland, and South Burlington, Vermont, rank as America’s two safest cities, respectively, according to the study. Plano, Texas, and Virginia Beach, Virginia, followed as the third and fourth safest cities in the U.S., respectively, according to the study.

St. Louis ranked as the least safe city, followed by Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and San Bernardino, California, as the most unsafe cities, respectively, according to WalletHub.

The WalletHub authors conducted their study by comparing 182 cities across factors of home and community safety, natural disaster risk and financial safety. The cities selected for the study include America’s 150 most populated cities along with at least two of the most populated cities in each state, according to WalletHub.

VaBeach has been safe ever since they put 50 rounds into a guy who took the police on a high speed car chase.

Columbia is not a city. It is an unincorporated area in Howard County.

I wonder what the common denominator is for 'safest' cities? Anyone care to guess? Ever been to Colombia or Burlington? I've been to both. Something was oddly missing.

VA Beach? HAHAHAHAAHAHHA

That's like saying Ocean City doesn't have a bar practically on every other street corner, yet we are a family friendly town! HAHAAHAHAHAH

Good one - HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAA

I hear differently from Columbia residents. Crime has skyrocketed over the past few years.
