The Methodology

They took great care in crafting this caring list and, because of that, there were a lot of criteria here. First made a list of the 100 largest cities in the U.S. and found data using sources including the 2010 U.S. Census, Facebook, and local business listings in criteria they saw as indicative of caring. Those were:

  • Student-counselor ratio
  • Charitable donations by percent of income
  • Crimes per 100,000 people (the lower the better)
  • Pet shelters and rescue per capita
  • Homeless services per capita
  • Mental health counselors and therapists per capita
  • Percent of workers who carpool (caring for the environment)
  • Facebook Likes for “charities and causes” per capita

They were really aiming at focusing on all sorts of caring, whether it’s for veterans, students, the poor, pets, the environment, or those who are just feeling down. That way, places that cared the most about the greatest number of things reigned supreme.

Once they had that info, they ranked each place in each category from one to 100, with scores closer to one being better. Then they averaged each location’s rankings into one score, with a lower number for that being more caring. From there, it was easy to see that one of the most caring city was Tucson.
