For many of us, strolling down a city sidewalk or crossing the street to go to our favorite restaurant are things we take for granted, but these seemingly simple everyday maneuvers aren’t that easy for people with disabilities.

According to WalletHub, a financial website that produces state and local rankings on a number of topics, the city of Chandler has been ranked among the best places to live for those with disabilities.

WalletHub compared some of America’s most populated cities across 31 key indicators of disability-friendliness, including physicians per capita, park accessibility and rate of workers with disabilities. Chandler ranked 11th out of 182 cities, ahead of communities such as Minneapolis (#12), Denver (#14), San Diego (#28) and Portland (#30).
