2018’s Best-Run City in America…

Utah Ranks 2nd, Running a city is a tall order. The larger the city, the more complex it becomes to manage.

In addition to representing the residents, local leaders must balance the public’s diverse interests with the city’s limited resources. That often means not everyone’s needs can or will be met.

Leaders must carefully considerwhich services are most essential, which agencies’ budgets to cut or boost and whether and how much to raise taxes, among other decisions.

But how do we measure the effectiveness of local leadership? One way is by determining a city’s operating efficiency. In other words, we can learn how well city officials manage and spend public funds by comparing the quality of services residents receive against the city’s total budget.
Methodology

In order to determine the best- and worst-run cities in America, WalletHub compared 150 of the most populated cities across six key categories:

• Financial Stability – Total Points: 16.67
• Education – Total Points: 16.67
• Health – Total Points: 16.67
• Safety – Total Points: 16.67
• Economy – Total Points: 16.67
• Infrastructure & Pollution – Total Points: 16.67

Using that approach, WalletHub compared the operating efficiency of 150 of the largest U.S. cities to reveal which among them are managed best. We constructed a “Quality of Services” score made up of 35 metrics grouped into six service categories, which we then measured against the city’s per-capita budget.
