These California Cities Are Considered The Most Caring In The U.S.

California has some of the most caring cities in America, according to a recent study by WalletHub.

In these strange times, a little kindness and concern for others mean more than ever.

According to the study, 16 California areas are some of the most caring cities in America.

In fact, Fremont was ranked as the fourth most caring city. The 15 other California cities rank as follows:

• San Diego (No. 17)
• Irvine (No. 19)
• San Jose (No. 23)
• San Francisco (No. 27)
• Chula Vista (No. 38)
• Anaheim (No. 41)
• Los Angeles (No. 43)
• Sacramento (No. 44)
• Santa Ana (No. 45)
• Riverside (No. 59)
• Fresno (No. 61)
• Oakland (No. 69)
• Bakersfield (No. 70)
• Stockton (No. 96)
• San Bernardino (No. 98)

To determine which cities were the most caring, WalletHub compared 100 of the most populated U.S. cities across three key aspects include Caring for the Community, Caring for the Vulnerable, and Caring in the Workforce.

More specific key dimensions that were compared were the percentage of population doing favors for neighbors, percentage of income donated to charity, volunteering hours, percentage of workers who carpool, percentage of sheltered homeless persons, percentage of teacher's who care for students' well-being, the child poverty rate, and percentage of residents working in the community and social services.

Based on that criteria the study found that these are the top 10 most caring cities in the U.S.:

1. Boston, MA
2. Madison, WI
3. New York, NY
4. Fremon, CA
5. Virginia Beach, VA
6. St. Paul, MN
7. Pittsburgh, PA
8. Lincoln, NE
9. Minneapolis, MN
10. Chesapeake, VA
