Lake County, Ilinois, Ranks High
Farmer's Insurance just listed their top US metropolitan areas in regards to most secure.
The areas were divided into three categories: Large Metro with over 500,000, Midsize 150,000 to 500,000, and Small Towns under 150,000.
Lake County, Il/Kenosha County, Wi ranked #9 in the large metro. We lived in Vernon Hills and Round Lake Beach in Lake County from 1974 to 1992.
Criteria such as crime rate, extreme weather, risk of natural disaster, environmental hazards, terrorism threats, air quality, life expectancy, and job loss are taken into account.
#1 Large metro: San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Ca.
#1 Mid-size: Olympia, Wa.
#1 Small Town: Corvalis, Or.
