DENVER ( KDVR ) — A new study found the most and least safest cities in America, and three Colorado cities made the lower end of the list.
WalletHub compared almost 200 cities to determine where people feel the safest in the U.S. This study based safety on where Americans feel most “secure,” which includes factors like traffic deaths and assaults per capita to the unemployment rate and percentage of the uninsured population.
