Columbia Recognized For Home and Community Safety

Columbia, Maryland was recognized as the #1 city for Home & Community Safety in recent data published by WalletHub. The research reviewed 182 U.S. cities, and also considered Natural-Disaster Risk and Financial Safety in its study.

“The values on which the visionary city of Columbia was founded over 55 years ago—safety, inclusion and an exceptional quality of life—hold true today under the thoughtful stewardship of Howard Hughes and are among the top attributes that attracted us to Columbia,” says Rick Kohr, CEO of Evergreen Advisors. The investment bank and corporate advisory firm is headquartered in the area.

With Lake Kittamaqundi, restaurants like Busboys and Poets, venues like Merriweather Post Pavilion, and a rich history of “inclusiveness, safety and progressivism,” Columbia is a great place to live, work, and visit.

Over the years, Columbia has been consistently ranked in lists for Best U.S. City for Jobs, Safest City in America, Happiest City, and Best Place to Live.
