The finance website came up with its results by analyzing the largest 100 US cities, using 25 metrics across four major categories: cost of ownership and maintenance; traffic and infrastructure; safety; and access to vehicles and maintenance.
Atlanta came in short at No. 70, overall, while Corpus Christi and Gilbert took first and second place, respectively.
