As long as you don't venture out in snowstorms, and your roof is sturdy and preferably steep-ish, the Great Lakes are your best bet for avoiding natural disasters as much as possible.
Western sides of the Great Lakes don't get nearly as much lake effect snow. But they do get below 70 from time to time
Now...where else can I move in the USA that isn't going to kill me from either hurricanes, humidity, alligators and pythons on the loose, tornado zones, fires, earthquakes, radioactive water, radiation, etc...
Oh also I'd like it to be approximately 70 degrees year round
I'm mostly kidding but only kindof.
Help me decide where to move!
I am looking for something with milder seasons, a family town, decent Real Estate since that's my job, nice people, good schools, not massively densely populated (like 1500 per sq foot is cool with me),..
Whatcha got???
Asheville pretty much fits all of that except for the 70 degree year-round part with a busy real estate market, nice people, very good schools, mildish four seasons and as a city with 85K in population certainly not massive population density.
The interior south-east or the south-west is probably your best bet. Although either way you're still going to have some of the stuff you listed. Just avoid the Atlantic coast, the fart west and any where north of 40 degrees latitude.

I'd also check into surrounding highland towns like Waynesville or Weaverville.
Western NY outside of the cities. The state has a ban on drilling which has helped to preserve the water quality. Very little chance of natural disasters. Low humidity.
It is also contributing to the economic failure of upstate NY. Other states drill with no harm to water, and if there is an environmental impact, they are made to fix it. It gets cold as hell there, with lots of snow, and yes it also gets humid in the summer. I've been there. Pittsburgh is probably better, and that isn't saying much, because south western PA largely sucks.

I'd say that there are other factors, but there are still jobs to be had for those that have the skills for the openings available.
Something like 12 people died when 7 feet of snow hit the southtowns of Buffalo in November 2014. Note my location. I know that WNY does well on 'susceptibility to natural disaster' rankings but I don't see why debilitating snowstorms shouldn't qualify as 'natural disasters'
I think it may be due to such storms of that magnitude being rare even for Buffalo.

Not Colorado. We've got everything on your list, although our alligators and pythons aren't loose in the wild but we do have bears and mountain lions. We also have devastating hail and the second highest death by lightning statistics in the entire US.
