The California cities of San Bernardino, Oakland and Los Angeles have
been ranked among the state’s most dangerous cities, according to a new
study from WalletHub.
"Threats to safety in the U.S. come in many forms, from the continued
presence of the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters to mass
shootings and traffic accidents," WalletHub’s financial writer Adam
McCann said, describing the intent of the study.
"No one can avoid all danger, however, and we take on a certain level of
risk based on where we choose to live. Some cities are simply better at
protecting their residents from harm," he added.
