The top five dirtiest cities in the country are run by Democrat mayors, a new study has found.
Among 152 of the biggest cities across the United States, Houston, Texas, won the No. 1 spot for dirtiest city, followed by Newark, New Jersey., San Bernardino, California, Detroit, Michigan, and Jersey City, New Jersey, according to a study released Thursday by LawnStarter.
LawnStarter measured each city across four categories: pollution, which measures things like air quality and greenhouse gas emissions; living conditions, like the percentage of homes containing mold or rats; infrastructure, which measures waste output and regulations; and consumer satisfaction, or the percentage of residents who find the city dirty.
Houston, which is run by Democratic Mayor Sylvester Turner, ranked No. 1 in overall score for the dirtiest city. It ranked third in the nation on pollution, fourth on poor living conditions, 12th on infrastructure and 34th on consumer satisfaction.
