TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PrivacyJournal has just published its 2025 analysis of the safest and most dangerous US states for online dating.
Their analysis evaluated six key safety indicators, which are: reported romance scams, incidents of identity theft, fraud reports, prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, registered sex offenders, and rates of violent crime. Using these metrics, we've developed a detailed state-by-state ranking system from safest to most dangerous.
Key findings from the study are:
The Safest Ones
- Vermont is the safest state for online daters in 2025. The Northeastern state boasts the lowest overall rate of STDs and the second-lowest number of identity theft reports.
- Maine is the second-safest state for online dating, ranking first for its low rate of violent crime reports.
- New Hampshire ranks 3rd on our list - this state didn’t swipe any first-place spots, but it came in second and third for low STD rates and violent crime reports, respectively.
The Dangerous Ones
- Nevada is the most dangerous state for online dating. With a poor showing across the board, it is the second-most dangerous state in terms of fraud. It’s also the third-most dangerous state for identity theft and romance scams, based on the number of reports in these categories.
- New Jersey has the lowest number of registered sex offenders, with only 50 registered per 100,000 people. At the other end of the scale, Oregon has the highest number of registered sex offenders — 790 per 100,000 people.
- Mississippi boasts the lowest number of romance scam reports, followed by New Jersey and Georgia. Meanwhile, Arizona has the highest number of romance scam reports.
