Southwest Florida City Is One Of The Safest In America
Feeling comfortable where you live is important and one Southwest Florida city is one of the safest in America.
Living in a place where you feel safe is important. I love my neighborhood in Fort Myers where it’s quiet, neighbors look out for each other, and very rarely do you hear of any activity when it comes to red and blue lights. I also love this community as a whole knowing that our law enforcement is responsive and visible, adding an extra layer of protection. Whether it’s the well-lit streets, the friendly waves from familiar faces or knowing you can rely on those around you, the feeling of safety allows you to live day to day with peace of mind.
Southwest Florida City Is One Of The Safest In America
WalletHub released a list of the safest cities in America. While you may not be able to avoid danger entirely, in some places the risk is lower than others. No one can avoid all danger, however, and we take on a certain level of risk based on where we choose to live. To put together their list of the places in our country that residents feel most secure, they looked at over 180 cities and a variety of factors. In the home & community safety category they looked at the number of mass shootings, assaults, thefts, sex offenders and more. They looked at the natural-disaster risk. And also financial safety with things like the unemployment rate, number of uninsured residents and foreclosure rate just to name a few.
On the list of 182 cities, Cape Coral came in at #16. While Cape Coral was the highest ranked, there are other Florida cities that made the list as well. Pembroke Pines (#30), Tallahassee (#58), Hialeah (#64), Tampa (#68), Port. St. Lucie (#71), Jacksonville (#91), Miami (#129) and St. Petersburg (#146).
