Wow, no city in the US did even make it into the personal safety top 50. I actually wonder if any city would make it into the top 100.

At the same time I have to wonder if middle sized cities were properly taken into account in this ranking. If it comes to Sweden, Stockholm coming 20th on life quality and 6th on personal safety is a good score..but I feel there are other middle sized towns in Sweden which have higher personal safety and living quality.

It would make sense however if cities had to reach a certain population rate to qualify for the ranking measurements though.

I think they took cities over a million.

San Francisco scored relatively well in both rankings.
