8. Houston, Texas
- Residents who’ve experienced violent crime, or know someone who has: 16 percent
- Chance of being a victim: 1 in 78
Texas is for sure of the hottest places in the US and because of that you might face the hurricanes and tornadoes a lot. With a weird climate and very warm summers, Texas is one of the most rural places in the States.
There is literally a fast food around every corner, and we all know how bad that is for our health.
If that wasn’t enough, there will be a huge number of poisonous spiders and snakes lurking around mostly because of the higher temperatures.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that Houston is on the top of the list when it comes to crimes. It has a rate of 10 per 1,000 residents and property crimes are much higher at 50 per 1,000 residents.

I live in CA and I’m not much of a fan but your comment “if you’re afraid of heights CA might not be the place for you” leaves me wondering what the heck you’re talking about. The Central Valley, where Stockton is located probably doesn’t have a point higher than 15′ above sea level.
Minneapolis used to be a great place to live, but now since it has been under Democrat rule, it is one of the very worst! what a shame!
Savannah, Ga…Almost every night, there is a murder on the streets of Savannah. Drugs and gangs are completely out of control.
Some of the better neighborhoods, you may be shot, even walking your dog!
Cleveland is a fabulous place to live. (And retire).. It has one of the best medical systems in the world (Cleveland Clinic). It has Playhouse Square with many theaters (Broadway Series) . It has the Cleveland Orchestra (best in the world). It has major sports teams. Everything is very affordable and accessible. My husband and I (Senior Citizens) go out almost every night to a different venue.
Dallas is much nicer than Houston.
Reno’s economy received a great boost with Tesla’s Mega Factory’s opening. The Biggest Little City already had spent money on the River Walk and Virginia Lake areas and now we have a new mid-town upgrade. We also have one of the best Triple A baseball parks in The Pacific Coast League. I retired here 10 years ago and have found Reno friendly, affordable with great restaurants, a beautiful outdoors within walking distance and with Lake Tahoe a 45 drive away…. this is a super place to live !!!
