The biggest city in Oregon is also 10th greenest in the nation, according to a recent data analysis from WalletHub.

For the ranking, WalletHub, an financial advisory and analysis website, looked at a number of factors, including air quality, greenhouse gas emissions per capita, green space, water quality, transportation and energy sources, among others.

You can read the full methodology of the analysis here.

Taking all that into account, Portland ranked number 10. San Diego and San Francisco came in first and second, respectively, and our neighbor to the north, Seattle, ranked number eight.

Portland also ranked second in the nation for bike score and third for the number of farmers markets per capita.

Perhaps as a way to celebrate, you'll wander over to one of those markets and grab yourself some shade-grown, free-trade, organic, artisan, bespoke rainbow chard. Or, if you want to check out the full rankings, you can find them here.
