Ever wonder if our city is run properly? 

WalletHub ran a study to find out which cities were the best run. Analysts looked at 150 of the largest cities in America to find out which ones performed best in six categories — financial stability, education, health, safety, economy and infrastructure and pollution. 

Indianapolis was among the bottom third, coming at at 102nd. Nearby Ft. Wayne stole the show for Indiana, ranking as the 5th best run city in the country.

Nearby Chicago fared worse in the rankings, coming in as the 135th best run city.
