Minneapolis is the most livable U.S. city for people with disabilities, while Juneau, Alaska, is the least, according to a new WalletHub analysis.
The personal finance website compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populous U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across three dimensions: economy, quality of life and healthcare.
WalletHub evaluated those dimensions using 33 metrics, ranging from housing affordability to share of uninsured population.
Each metric used a 100-point scale; 100 indicates the best conditions for people with disabilities. Cities were ranked by their weighted averages across metrics. More information about the methodology is available here.
