Kentucky is what people think of when they imagine southern charm, hunting, and fishing. It also has a bit of a hillbilly stereotype attached to it, but we won't go too far into that one! Given its position at number 29 on this list you'd probably be surprised to learn that the violent crime rate in Kentucky is one of the lowest in the country. The seventh lowest, in fact. For every 100,000 people, there were 219 violent crimes annually - way below the national average of 373.
