Overview

• WalletHub compared 182 cities across Economy, Quality of Life and Health Care using 33 metrics scored on a 100-point scale and combined by weighted averages.
• Minneapolis led the list in part for affordable, quality medical care, including a $355 average monthly insurance premium, strong public hospitals, high hospitals-per-capita, accessible trails and broad park proximity.
• Juneau, Alaska ranked last overall, with the weakest quality-of-life score for disabled residents and a low health care ranking in WalletHub’s assessment.
• Rounding out the top tier, St. Louis placed second and Scottsdale third, while Pittsburgh ranked eighth and Philadelphia 25th.
• WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo urged cities to prioritize accessibility and affordability for the more than one in four U.S. adults living with a disability.
