China News Service, October 17th. San Diego in Southern California is sunny and is considered to be one of the cities with the best climate in the United States. According to Taiwan's "China Broadcasting News Network", it was also selected as the "luckiest city" in the United States in a survey by a health magazine.

Baltimore, Phoenix, Wilmington, Virginia, Richmond, Virginia and the casino city of Las Vegas also made the top ten.

This survey of the top 100 lucky cities in the United States is based on factors such as lottery winning rate, golf hole-in-one rate, probability of being struck by lightning, probability of being hit by something, etc.

On the other end of the scale, the number one unlucky city is Charleston, West Virginia. According to surveys, Charleston residents are four times more likely to be accidentally hit by something than San Diego residents, and no one there has ever won the lottery jackpot.

Top 10 most dangerous cities in the United States that Chinese people are concerned about

No mayor is willing to let his city get the title of "the most dangerous city", but violent crime, drug trafficking and gang activities are spreading in many big cities.

The American "Life" magazine recently listed a list of the top ten dangerous cities in the United States that Chinese people are concerned about. The following is the list.

No. 10: Rockford, Illinois: A popular halfway house for drug dealers.

Ninth place: Las Vegas, Nevada: A "sin" city popular with gamblers. The real estate crisis is one of the reasons for the surge in its crime rate. It is also filled with a large number of robberies and assaults.

No. 8: Tallahassee, Florida: Poverty and drug trafficking plague the city with the highest crime rate in Florida.

No. 7: Stockton, California: Drug dealers use the city's well-developed waterways to sell drugs and fuel gang wars.

No. 6: Lubbock, Texas: a transit point for the trafficking of cocaine and stimulants.

Fifth place: Anchorage, Alaska: The crime rate is twice the state crime rate and the city with the most rapes in the state.

Fourth place: Flint, Michigan: years of high unemployment, a sluggish local economy that will take a long time to recover, and a high crime rate.

Third place: Springfield, Illinois: High crime rate, high poverty rate, majority of residents under the age of 44, which has also become a potential factor for violent crime.

No. 2: Memphis, Tennessee: The poorest city in the United States, which also contributes to its high crime rate.

No. 1: Detroit, Michigan: high crime rate, high suicide rate and high unemployment rate.
