Florida Not One Of The Safest States In America
According to a new study, Florida is not one of the safest states in America. They aren’t the worst state, but it is in the Top 5. The study comes from Wallethub to find out which states are the safest and which ones aren’t. Here is what the say about the study, “Certain states keep their residents safer than others. In order to determine the safest states in America, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 52 key safety indicators grouped into five different categories. Our data set ranges from assaults per capita to the total loss amount from climate disasters per capita to the unemployment rate.”
Florida comes in as one of the least safest states in America. They are 46th overall, which makes Florida the fifth least safe state in America. Florida ranks 35th overall in personal and residential safety 23rd and financial safety 46th and Road safety. Apparently the study doesn’t think our roads are really good. They also come in 45th and workplace safety. There is also an emergency preparedness category and Florida comes in at number 46. So the highest category that Florida places in is financial safety.
The number one safest state in America is Vermont. They are in the top 10 and every single category in the study. Including number one overall and workplace safety.
