Amid rising gun violence and frequent climate disasters, a new WalletHub report ranks Texas as the third least safe state to live in the U.S. for 2024.

In a year marred by escalating gun violence and an alarming number of climate disasters, Texas has been deemed the third least safe state in the U.S., according to a new report by personal-finance website WalletHub., underscores the significant challenges Texas faces in ensuring the security and well-being of its residents. Overall, the Lone Star State ranked 48th out of 50 states.

“The safest states in America protect their residents from harm in a multitude of different ways, from keeping crime rates low and maintaining safe roadways to having strong economies and job markets that prevent people from falling into dangerous financial situations," said Chip Lupo, WalletHub analyst.

WalletHub’s report not only highlights areas for improvement but also serves as a call to action for policymakers, local leaders, and communities to prioritize public safety measures. Texas' rankings in several categories demonstrate the need for stronger infrastructure, more robust healthcare access, and enhanced public safety initiatives.
