Well, if you want to avoid earthquakes, I would live on either the East coast or in the middle of the US. However, if you live on the east coast, you'll probably get hit with a hurricane. and if you live in the middle, it has a chance of getting hit with a tornado.
The Midwest and parts of the South, like North Dakota or Florida, experience fewer earthquakes compared to the West Coast. Areas in the central United States have a lower seismic hazard and are less prone to earthquakes.
