These U.S. cities rank higher for tech security than personal safety. (via CNBCMakeIt)
In fact, Washington DC is the only American city to make it into the top 10, when it comes to the report's three other safety indicators: Health security; infrastructure security; and personal security.Other major U.S. tech hubs, meanwhile, struggle to cut above the 15th place in the remaining categories. Los Angeles records the lowest rank among them, placing 32nd for personal safety.
Different types of safety are thoroughly intertwined ... it is rare to find a city with very good results in one safety pillar and lagging in others.Health security pertains to environmental policies and access to health care, according to the report. Infrastructure security regards transport safety and disaster management, while personal security covers crime levels and police engagement.
Though the U.S. displays some notable outliers, overall the report notes a general level of consistency across the four pillars, stating than investment in one area can have knock on effects for others. "Different types of safety are thoroughly intertwined ... it is rare to find a city with very good results in one safety pillar and lagging in others," notes Naka Kondo, senior editor of the EIU.
Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka, for example, perform especially well across all four categories, each placing in the top 10 across at least three of the four.
