Women's Well-Being: Ranking America's Top 25 Metro Areas
Based on indicators of health, education, and income, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Boston rank at the top of a list of twenty-five U.S. metropolitan areas for women's well-being, as measured by the American Human Development Index, a report from the
Social Science Research Council
finds. According to the report, Women's Well-Being: Ranking America's Top 25 Metro Areas (21 pages, PDF), Pittsburgh, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Houston, San Antonio, and Riverside-San Bernardino, where women's life expectancy, median earnings, and school enrollment and educational attainment fall short of the national average, are at the bottom of the list. Funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the report considers disparities by race/ethnicity as well as variations within groups by city.
