Las Vegas is the SAFEST place to live (not for your wallet)

A great piece appeared on The Weather Guys Blog today discussing the safety ratings of states by the probabilities of natural disasters hitting.  This is a perspective that I had not thought of.  You'll love this article.  There's a fantastic interactive graphic here to check out the 18 natural disaster events that they compared.

I went from a FOUR to a SIX...Yikes. 

I want someone to factor in these 18 things, then crime, then education quality, then unemployment data, then ????? and come up with the absolute best place to live "statistically".  I bet we'd all be surprised at the results...further demonstrating how statistics can be used to prove or disprove ANYTHING.
