HONOLULU, Hawaii — Honolulu is the third most secure place to live in the United States among large metropolitan areas, according to a survey undertaken by Farmers Insurance Group of Companies. It marks the fifth straight year Honolulu has been among the Top 20 most secure large cities in the U.S, a news release from the insurance company said.

The rankings are based on factors such as crime statistics, extreme weather, risk of natural disasters, housing depreciation, foreclosures, air quality, life expectancy and job loss numbers in 114 U.S. metropolitan areas with populations of 500,000 or more.

The Seattle–Bellevue–Everett, Wash., area encompassing Puget Sound is the most secure large metropolitan area to live in the U.S., according to the Farmers Insurance study. The Portland–Beaverton, Ore./Vancouver, Wash., area is second.
