With October being National Disability Employment Awareness Month and the average monthly Social Security disability benefit at only $1,151.79, barely enough to keep an individual out of poverty, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on 2021’s Best & Worst Cities for People with Disabilities, as well as accompanying videos and expert commentary.
In order to ease the process of finding the best place to live while managing a disability, WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 34 key indicators of disability-friendliness. The data set ranges from wheelchair-accessible facilities per capita to rate of workers with disabilities to quality of public hospital system.
