Here is the release:

Eighth annual Farmers Insurance study ranks the most secure places to live in the U.S.

Quote:
The rankings . . . took into consideration crime statistics, extreme weather, risk of natural disasters, housing depreciation, foreclosures, air quality, terrorist threats, environmental hazards, life expectancy, mortality rates from cancer and motor vehicle accidents, and job loss numbers in 379 U.S. municipalities. . . . Pittsburgh moved up 10 spots from a year ago to rank No. 1 among large metropolitan areas in the 2011 Farmers study. This is Pittsburgh’s fifth appearance in the Top 20, with its previous best ranking ninth in the 2005 study. Its low housing depreciation, personal crime rate and motor vehicle deaths, along with a high stability rate contributed to its top rating.
So in this ranking we are once again benefiting from our relatively good economic performance during the recession/recovery, but it is also nice to do relatively well in the combination of personal crime and motor vehicle risks.

This news is not nearly negative enough for anyone to comment on it in this forum.

Hah!

I at least expected the usual nitpicking.
