নিউ ইয়র্ক হতাশাজনক কারণ এটি নেই। নিরাপদ শহর র্যাঙ্কিং-এ 115- কিন্তু এই মেট্রোপলিটন এলাকা শহরটি শীর্ষ পাঁচে জায়গা করে নিয়েছে
It’s probably no surprise that New York didn’t top the list of the safest cities in the United States – but at least it’s not the worst. In WalletHub’s report, which assessed the safety of over 180 U.S. cities, New York landed in an underwhelming 115th place, suggesting that the Big Apple has more to worry about than just high rents and crowded subways. The study analyzed 41 safety indicators – from violent crime and traffic accidents to financial stability, the risk of natural disasters, and health insurance coverage. While New York isn’t the safest city, it avoids the lowest rankings in the WalletHub report. elena_suvorova – stock.adobe.com The results show that feeling safe in a modern city is about much more than avoiding dark alleys – it means financial resilience, protection against fraud, access to healthcare, and infrastructure resilient to natural disasters. Despite a heavy police presence and some recent increases in certain crime rates, New York City still finds itself in the bottom half of the country for overall safety. WalletHub’s report looked at various types of physical and financial risks – including uninsured rates, poverty, unemployment, and disaster risk – and New York’s average score paints a problematic picture. In particular, the city continues to struggle with affordability. The high cost of living threatens the financial security of many residents, especially when it comes to housing and healthcare. The threat of inflation, rising mortgage costs, and economic instability have a major impact on safety scores, not just traditional crime rates. If there is any consolation for New Yorkers, it is that some major U.S. cities are doing worse when it comes to the safety of their residents: New Orleans, LA Memphis, TN Baton Rouge, LA Detroit, MI Baltimore, MD Fort Lauderdale, FL Houston, TX San Bernardino, CA Philadelphia, PA Cleveland, OH. These cities typically suffer from a combination of high violent crime, high levels of poverty, and systemic financial challenges such as low creditworthiness, poor access to insurance, and high risks of homelessness or unemployment. “When people think about city safety, they are probably thinking about things like crime rates, auto fatality rates, and the risk of natural disasters,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said in a statement. New Orleans is the least safe city in the U.S., facing serious threats from crime and natural disasters. Cavan – stock.adobe.com Memphis is considered dangerous due to its traffic fatality and death rates. SeanPavonePhoto – stock.adobe.com Baltimore is among the least safe cities in the U.S., struggling with high crime rates and ongoing public safety concerns. SeanPavonePhoto – stock.adobe.com Detroit is one of the least safe cities in the U.S., struggling with persistent problems of crime, poverty, and financial insecurity. f11photo – stock.adobe.com “The safest cities in America protect residents from the risk of personal injury and property loss, but most importantly, they help protect people’s financial security. Financial security includes reducing the risk of fraud and identity theft, helping people maintain employment and insurance, and fighting homelessness.” Size, good financial indicators, and low crime. The 5 safest cities in the U.S. are Warwick, RI Overland Park, KS Burlington, VT Juneau, AK Yonkers, NY Although New York is not among the most dangerous places in the U.S., a ranking of 115 shows that it is far from the safest – but that is no surprise.
