Two Kentucky cities, Louisville and Lexington, recently made WalletHub’s list of best and worst-run cities in the U.S, and one was much higher in the rankings than the other at second in the nation. Can you guess which of the two is at the top of the list?
Nearly 150 cities across the nation were evaluated in 36 metrics across six categories to determine the rankings, including financial stability, education, health, safety, economy and infrastructure and pollution. Each were measured on a 100-point scale and averaged out by weight to create a “quality of city services” score before being divided by the total budget per capita to determine the overall rank based on score per dollar spent.
Here’s what we know.
