I have often wondered how WH’s ranking systems work. While we rank 8th overall (cities of a population of 200K or higher) for how the city is ran we run into some concerning ratings on some other fronts;
- Quality of City Services: 27
- Debt Per Capita: 18
- Financial Stability: 53
- Education: 53
- Health: 41
- Safety: 44
- Economy: 21
Like I said, not sure how WH came up with an 8 rating when we are obviously not doing that great in other categories except in Per Capita Debt. I am curious how this ranking came about, did they include the debt of Minnehaha and Lincoln County or the multiple school districts in the city that have extensive bond debt?
