A new WalletHub study listed Lexington as No. 15 on its list of “Best & Worst Cities to Drive in,” up one spot from last year. Meanwhile, Louisville ranked No. 55 + Oakland, CA came in last at No. 100.

The list was determined based on 30 key indicators compared across 100 large cities. Metrics included:

  • Cost of ownership + maintenance
  • Traffic
  • Infrastructure
  • Safety
  • Access to vehicles and maintenance
