Two Bay Area cities ranked poorly in a recent study by WalletHub.
that examined the operating efficiency of 150 U.S. cities and identified which are run well and which are not. The personal finance website looked at metrics related to a city's operating budget and the quality of the services it provides — everything from public school to transit — to quantify who's at the top of the list and who's at the bottom.
"San Francisco ranked particularly poorly when it comes to long-term debt outstanding per capita, where it was second to last," WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez wrote in an email to SFGATE."It also has the lowest quality of roads in the country — 18 times worse than No. 1 Jacksonville. The city did, however, rank better when it comes to its health and education numbers."
The violent and property crime rates, as well as motor vehicle fatalities per capita, were among those factors considered in safety, and under the economy category there was a long list of metrics including unemployment rate, median household income and share of population living in poverty. Finally, quality of roads, bike and transit score and air pollution were among more than a dozen metrics included in the infrastructure and pollution category.
