Home Gnome evaluated 206 of the largest US counties based on earthquake risk, the median age of homes, the number of dams in the area and other metrics to assess their impact risk.
They calculated a risk score for each county (out of 100 points) and ranked them from least vulnerable to most vulnerable.
Some places on the list are unexpected, including Tennessee and Oklahoma .
Multiple areas in California and Oregon , two of the most earthquake-prone states, made the list as well.
Memphis is located on the southern edge of the New Madrid Seismic Zone , one of the most seismically active regions east of the Rock Mountains .
