It's no surprise in a country that sees violence as the solution to all problems, both physical and mental. It starts with children who are conditioned to violence through comics, and continues with all the Hollywood garbage that suggests violence is the answer to everything.

Not surprised at all. I have a little one who I'm afraid to send to schools in the US, and an older one who is about to start home schooling.

The only thing I'm surprised by with that ranking is that it wasn't actually any lower. That said I have no doubts that there are some incredible towns in the States which are a wonderful place to live in, it's just that the crime and violence in other areas drag the overall figures down.

Yes, and I live in Portland, Oregon so we are probably higher than the 128. Thus why I am leaving...

For a politically devided country with extreme poverty and also the most amount of rich people, where hoarding money always trumps social needs and care, and more guns are thought to provide more protection, it doesn't surprise me at all.

These lists are rather subjunctive, and regional issues can drag a country down. My son was recently in Istanbul and said he felt extremely safe, yet Turkey is near the bottom of the list.

@Traveling with Kristin - Hi Kristin! Hope you’re doing well. 🙂 Will you be making a video soon on Dual Citizenship possibly ending for Americans? A Senator from Ohio just introduced a bill for that. What are your thoughts on this, and how will it be affecting expats in the long run? 🤔😎 -Henry O

And they are not wrong. I retired abroad in 2023 and have been back to the USA twice in the last year. No question, the difference in quality of life is real and striking... the social conflict, drama and safety issues in US Cities are real. Small towns are still good, but many of the Cities are just not a good or safe place to be. Wish the best for the USA and hopefully things will get better in the next couple years.

Europe calls on the US to help defend them. They don't call Costa Rica

That places the US below countries like Cambodia, El Salvador, and Rwanda in terms of overall peace, measured by factors like safety, militarization, political stability, and conflict. 📉 www.visionofhumanity.org/maps/#/
For many people considering moving abroad, quality of life and personal safety are becoming just as important as cost of living. 🌍
💬 Does this ranking surprise you? Would you consider peace and safety a top reason to relocate?
