The Safest States for Thanksgiving Travel

Financial site WalletHub analyzed safety data for all 50 states to determine a list of the safest states for Thanksgiving travel this year. The survey is based on COVID-19 data as well as other general safety factors (like crime rates and DUI statistics for November).

  5. Washington
  6. Virginia
  7. Massachusetts
