1: Idaho
2: New Hampshire (yes I know the Republicans in the NH state senate are very moderate and Sununu is a libertarian but the violent crime rate is similar to some of the safest countries in the world)
3: Maine (cold winters and democrat with some libertarian tendencies government are the negatives….some of the lowest violent crime and property crime rates in the world if you compare it to other countries)
4: Wyoming (yes I know about Mark Gordon but everything else is great)
5: Montana (the top 5 on this list are all pretty states)
6: Nebraska
7: South Dakota
8: Iowa (Kim Reynolds is awesome)
9: Florida (rogue DA removal law is simple but voter initiated amendments to the constitution, term limits on statewide officials so no more Desantis in 2027, and moderately high baseline population predictive violent crime however nowhere near as high as the states in between Florida and Texas…shocking that Florida is the 13th lowest violent crime with the fundamentals being what they are…DeSantis is a god and best governor in US history….hot and humid….low property tax…the 11th circuit is just 7 conservative to 5 liberals....State Supreme Court is not as conservative as other red states)
10: Texas (no voter initiated amendments to the constitution and no term limits on statewide officials but rogue DA removal law is complex and moderately high baseline population predictive violent crime however nowhere near as high as the states in between Texas and Florida…since the second half of 2021 Abbott and the state government have become much more conservative…….5th circuit court of appeals is very conservative…The all Republican Texas Supreme Court actually write rulings like conservatives instead of other Republican state courts like Montana....hot and humid in some areas….very high property tax....worst urban blight and decay of any state in the top 10.....worst violent crime rate of all of the top 10 with a vast majority of it occurring in the urban metro counties however rural Texas is safer than other rural areas in the central and eastern sunbelt in terms of violent crime and homicide rates)
Honorable mentions: Utah (Spencer Cox, worst Republican governor in the country, single handedly kept Utah from the top 10 but Phil Lyman did great in a recent primary with 46 percent against Cox even without Mike Lee's endorsement and a massive money disadvantage…..Utah has very low property tax), and North Dakota
I know New Hampshire and Maine are not red states (New Hampshire does have a Republican trifecta right now however). Nevertheless they both belong on this list because of the quality of life factors they provide that conservatives find important. Take a vacation to both of them and see for yourself.
I used extensive statistical analysis of quality of life factors that conservatives and Republicans care about in addition to how conservative the state government/state constitution/laws/state judiciary are to make this list. New Hampshire and Maine's quality of life factors for conservatives far outweighs how not conservative their state governments are.
