A recent ranking of the safest cities in the United States places Seattle at No.150 of the 182 cities examined.
Low scores in two of the three major variables used to assess cities ― one of which is home and community safety ― led to Seattle’s poor showing in the study, which was prepared by personal-finance platform WalletHub.
“Some cities are simply better at protecting their residents from harm,” the WalletHub study states. “To determine where Americans can feel most secure — in more than one sense — WalletHub compared more than 180 cities. … Our data set ranges from assaults per capita to unemployment rate to road quality.”
The study assessed 41 key metrics across three major categories: 1) home and community safety, such as crime rates and traffic fatalities; 2) natural-disaster risk, including wildfire and earthquake risk; and 3) financial safety, such as employment, median credit score and the poverty rate. Seattle ranked 150th in the category of home and community safety; 141st in the natural-disaster risk category; and sixth in the category of financial safety ― for an overall ranking of 150th.
