When compiling the list, wallethub.com says they're not relying elusively on violence and crimes. There are numerous factors they used outside of those factors. I can't help but think Hurricanes are big reason why we're number 45 on the list.

"By safety, we’re not referring exclusively to protection from violence and crime. This WalletHub study encompasses various forms of safety, including workplace safety, emergency preparedness, home and community stability, road safety and, of course, financial security. With so many elements to consider, it’s no wonder many people find the process of choosing a new place to call home somewhat challenging.

We used 20 key metrics to analyze each state according to different safety standards, taking into account the rates of crime and traffic accidents, for instance, as well as data related to employer insurance coverage, climate disasters and more."
