3 Massachusetts Massachusetts, officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is the most populous state in the New England part of the northeastern region of the United States.

4 Maine Maine is located in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Known for its rugged coastline, it is the easternmost state in the contiguous U.S. Its capital is Augusta, while its largest city is Portland. Maine is famous for its maritime history, as well as its seafood cuisine, particularly lobster and clams. The state's economy also relies on tourism, especially in natural areas like Acadia National Park. The official state motto is "Dirigo," which means "I direct" in Latin. The state's nickname is the "Pine Tree State" due to its extensive forests. Maine became the 23rd state to join the Union on March 15, 1820.

No offense to all you Mainers but some of the people but not all are somtimes known for their rudeness but besides that it is very peaceful lovely looking yet cold state which is also very safe.

Maine is the most peaceful state!

5 Utah Utah is a state in the western United States. It became the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Utah is the 13th-largest, the 31st-most populous, and the 10th-least-densely populated of the 50 United States.

Utah has the least crime and lowest poverty rate amongst all other states according to most reports that I've read.

Safest Communities in the United States of America, hands down.

Safest state I've ever seen, so white and religious.

The best state!

6 Colorado Colorado is a state in the United States encompassing most of the Southern Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains.
7 Vermont

Because it is actually the safest state in the US. I cannot understand how many states are ranking higher than it on here. Probably just because they have higher populations.

Legitimately safest state.

8 New Hampshire
9 South Dakota
10 Iowa Iowa is a U.S. state in the Midwestern United States, bordered by the Mississippi River on the east and the Missouri River and the Big Sioux River on the west. Iowa is a strong Republican state with Constitutional Carry. Masks have never been mandatory and Iowa was never locked down.

The Contenders
11 Alaska Alaska is a U.S. state situated in the northwest extremity of the Americas. The Canadian administrative divisions of British Columbia and Yukon border the state to the east; it has a maritime border with Russia to the west across the Bering Strait.

Alaska is dangerous
