Chicago Ranks as One of the Worst Run-Cities While Oklahoma City is in Top 5 of Best-Run [Video]

A study by WalletHub concluded that Chicago, IL, is one of the worst-run cities, while Oklahoma City, OK, is one of the best-run cities.

WalletHub studied the 148 most populous cities in America. It looked at six categories: financial stability, education, health, safety, economy, and infrastructure and pollution.

“The best-run cities in America use their budgets most effectively to provide high-quality financial security, education, health, safety and transportation to their residents,” said Cassandra Happe, a WalletHub analyst. “Many of the top cities also have a very low amount of outstanding government debt per capita, which can prevent financial troubles in the future.”

Why did I choose these two cities? I’m from Chicago and live in Oklahoma City.

There are many reasons why I chose OKC over Chicago, even though the latter will always be home.

I wish the study had more details.
