This county is lousy for the disabled
Out of 150 cities, Chula Vista ranks 120th
Somewhere in a universe far from San Diego County...
San Diego is a disappointing middle-of-the-pack as a residence for those with disabilities, according to a new study by WalletHub, a firm that does statistical studies on states, metro areas, and cities.
Out of 150 cities, San Diego ranks 82nd. Oceanside does better, coming in at 52nd, but Chula Vista is down near the bottom at 120th.
Here are the variables:
1) Economic environment – housing affordability, cost of living, employment rate for those with disabilities, percentage of those with disabilities living below the poverty line, cost of in-home services, and median earnings for those with disabilities
2) Quality of life – percentage of those with disabilities living within the area, number of special-education teachers per 1000 people with disabilities, number of hotels with wheelchair access, walkable park access, effectiveness of Medicaid programs, and weather
3) Health care – doctor cost, number of family physicians per 100,000 residents, public hospital system, quality of nursing, and percentage of uninsured people.
San Diego is 106th in health care and 98th in quality of life.
