Note:

• All rank information is out of 72 cities, though not all cities may have scores/data in every category.
   1 is the 'best' (least polluting, most educated, etc) and 72 is the 'worst'.

• Scores followed by ‘***’ indicate partial scores, e.g. at least one scored indicator was not available
   or reported for this city.

• Use of the asterisk (*) after the city name indicates year 2000 data was used in instances where
   2005 or 2004 Census data was not available.
