The consumer website WalletHub has ranked Santa Clarita No. 10 on the list of best cities in the United States for people with disabilities.
Report from WalletHub:
When searching for a new city to call home, most people share a common list of priorities — affordability, jobs, schools and attractions among them. But people with disabilities often have a larger list of considerations. Factors such as the accessibility of various facilities, the quality of health care and even the cleanliness of the air can take precedence over others. The availability of such elements allows them to play an important role in the community and make significant contributions to the economy.
In the U.S., people with disabilities bring valuable skill sets to the workplace that build upon the strength and diversity of the American labor market. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly five million people with disabilities were employed in 2014. However, the unemployment rate for those with a disability continues to be almost double the rate for persons without one.
To help ease the process of finding a new place to call home while managing a disability, WalletHub compared the 150 most populated cities across 21 key metrics, ranging from the number of physicians per capita to the rate of employed people with disabilities to park accessibility.
