Philadelphia’s best category is Safety & Accessibility, in part, because it rated second in Fewest DUI-Related Fatalities Per Capita.
It also ranked 17th for Attractions & Activities.
However, Philadelphia is 49th for the weather forecast. While there’s no control over Mother Nature, the city can certainly improve upon its Fourth of July Celebrations ranking, where it came near the bottom in 69th place.
