A New England city is the safest in the country, says WalletHub study. (No, not Boston.)

"When people think about safety in a city, their minds probably immediately go to things like the crime rate, auto fatality rate or risk of natural disasters," WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said in a statement. "The safest cities in America protect residents from these threats of bodily harm and property damage, but on top of that, they also help secure people's financial safety." Financial safety, Lupo explained, includes minimizing the risk of fraud and identity theft, combatting homelessness, and keeping people employed and insured.
