Probably Wyoming by definition, there are fewer people in that big ass state than there are in many big cities
common statistical error. less people equals less crime, true, but when you are an individual person seeking peace/safety as an individual the far more valuable stat is the per capita which normalizes for the population. by this measure, Maine is #1 with Wyoming at #5/50 but with double the violent crime per capita.
It depends on what you mean by "peaceful." I took it to mean "quiet", not "the absence of violence. "
perfectly true
Probably Hawaii due to the local culture, especially if you get out of Honolulu. Otherwise Alaska due to the extremely low population density.
In the contiguous states, maybe Vermont, NH, Maine due to culture, possibly Wyoming due to low density.
i am terrified to learn that Alaska has proportionally almost double the stats of violent crime and rape per capita as the country average. turns out all that empty space does not really help.
