It gets very cold and snowy in the winters but the northern middle west dodge most of the serious tornadoes to the west and south, no significant risk for hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. Plus a decent source of fresh water if we can keep it clean and not let corpos take it all for free. And not so close to coastal areas to flood or mountains trapping heat.

Nowhere is really safe from climate change, but if you look at those maps, the worst stuff misses the upper Midwest. Which isn't a real benefit either; it means taking on a lot of displaced climate refugees.
