Oct 7, 2025, 3:42 PM

We always say that every state has it’s rough parts, but it’s starting to look like Colorado has more than most…

WalletHub’s list of the safest states in the country has just come out where they rank states on 52 key indicators of safety in five categories; personal & residential safety, financial safety, road safety, workplace safety, and emergency preparedness.

Colorado is in the bottom ten, coming in at number seven on the least safe states list. Our worst categories was the “personal & residential safety” section where we came in at #45 out of 50 states. The best category for Colorado was the “financial safety” portion where we ranked at #17.

Vermont ranked as the safest state while Louisiana was the least safe. See the full study here.
