We're sure you already know just how great living in New Hampshire is, but it's always nice to receive a new compliment. You might have heard that Politico has ranked New Hampshire the strongest state in the country many times, and most recently, the state earned the spotlight once again, in U.S. News and World Report's 10 Safest States in the U.S. list. The Granite State ranked second on this prestigious list, reiterating what we already know: that not only is New Hampshire one of the safest states in the U.S., but it's also one of the best places to live in the U.S.!

Congratulations, New Hampshirites!

According to U.S. News and World Report Atlas, New Hampshire is one of the safest states to live in the U.S.

Obviously, we already know living in New Hampshire is a real treat.

Politico has long ranked New Hampshire the strongest state in the U.S. in their annual reports, which factor an exhaustive comparison of data from 14 different sources. They take into account health, education, and financial security, among other factors.

Now, New Hampshire can say it's not only the strongest, but also one of the safest states in America, according to U.S. News and World Report.

In the outlet's most recent list, New Hampshire snagged the #2 spot in terms of the safest states in the U.S. The media outlet cited New Hampshire's low property and violent crime rates.

You're probably not surprised that New England dominated the list, but New Hampshire stood out in a few categories even over its neighbors.

It's good to know that New Hampshire earned high marks when it came to financial security and workplace safety, too. The study also noted a relatively low threat of natural disaster and one of the lowest rates of assaults in the country.

Will all of these accolades mean an increase in the number of folks moving to New Hampshire? After all, one of the most important things is being able to feel safe in the place you call home.
