With October being National Disability Employment Awareness Month and  the average monthly Social Security disability benefit at only $1,065.73, barely enough to keep an individual out of poverty, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2018’s Best & Worst Cities for People with Disabilities as well as accompanying videos.

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 31 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.
