Nampa, Idado, is the best-run city in the U.S., according to a WalletHub report on the best and worst-run cities in the country, released Monday.

The worst-run city, according to WalletHub, is Washington, D.C., followed by Gulfport, Mississippi, and San Francisco, California.

The article contains the full list as well as the criteria used to come up with the rankings. Shockingly, Baltimore is not on the list, neither is Jackson, MS.

Cant believe Baltimore isn't number 1. Our last 3 mayors have had to resign in scandal, one is being investigated by the FBI and for over a year we couldn't even find a chief of police cuz no one wanted to take it.

Yeap, I hear you! It's a disaster that's costing the state a ton of money.

Ha, of course!

DC certainly has priorities, but stopping rampant crime doesn't seem to be as high as banning straws. As of today, straws are illegal in DC. You have a good chance of getting mugged, or worse, in the city, but God help you if you're caught with a straw.

As always with lists like this. What's the racial make up of these cities?

Cleveland, Hartford, Flint, Oakland, Detroit, NYC, Chattanooga, San Francisco, Gulfport, DC.

Not sure what’s going on in Chattanooga & Gulfport but the others are not exactly a shocker.
