Personal finance website WalletHub has conducted an in-depth analysis of this year's best-run cities in America, so where does Shreveport rank?

Our city is sitting in the bottom half of the list, at #84. Baton Rouge ranked 58th and New Orleans, #111. At the very top of the rankings was Boise, Idaho. At the bottom, Washington, D.C. Are you surprised?

In case you're wondering how these rankings came about, WalletHub compared 150 of the largest U.S. cities across six key dimensions, including financial stability, education, safety and economy, as well as infrastructure and pollution.

Analysts combined those categories to come up with an 'Overall City Services' ranking, then measured cities' total per-capita budgets in order to find their budgeting efficiency.

Here are some of the results:

Casper, Wyo., the city with the lowest long-term debt outstanding per capita, $700, which is more than 28 times lower than in Atlanta, the city with the highest, $19,902.

Frederick, Md., has the highest high-school graduation rate, 93 percent, which is two times higher than in Denver, the city with the lowest, 56 percent.
