Utah Is One Of The Safest Places In The U.S. To Live

Utahns know that the Beehive State is the most beautiful and the absolute best place to live…but did you know that we’re also ranked in the top 10 safest states in the nation? The website World Atlas ranked all 50 states for safety, based on several factors, and Utah made the list!

World Atlas looks at several factors to determine which states are the safest.

Those factors include crime and accident rates, unemployment rate, community stability, work place safety, financial stability and the states' emergency readiness plans.
In addition to being the most beautiful state, Utah is the sixth safest state!

Ok, World Atlas didn't say that Utah was the most beautiful...that's my input. But really...who's going to argue?
Utah gets especially high marks in some categories.

The Beehive State ranks high for family safety, road safety and financial security. We also have very low unemployment (just 3.4 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau).
Utah ranks very low for potential property loss due to climate disasters.

World Atlas isn't counting on Utah having the BIG earthquake anytime soon, which is good because as residents of one of the safest states in the nation, we're ready to get out and play in our beautiful outdoors!
