This Mass. city ranked among the lowest for public restroom access, cleanliness
Easy access to public restrooms affects travelers, commuters, delivery workers and more, yet there's a growing concern of their availability. To better understand the scale of the problem, the health and hygiene brand, Tena, conducted research to find out which U.S. states and cities have the most 'discoverable public bathrooms,' according to the report. The scores for each location were based on four key factors including how discoverability, density, cleanliness and accessibility. The company found that Cranston, Rhode Island, Essex, Vermont and Evansville, Indiana ranked the lowest overall scores. This was because none of them were discoverable on public maps, which cause all locations to score a 0 across all categories. 'While this doesn't necessarily mean there are no public restrooms in these cities, it does highlight the impact of missing or inaccurate tags,' Tena explained. 'It's a reminder of how essential proper listing is for helping people quickly find facilities when they need them.' The Massachusetts city of Worcester didn't fare well either. That city had a discoverability score of 0, an estimated density score of 1, a cleanliness score of 0, and received a 0 in accessible bathrooms. Overall, Massachusetts scored a 7 in discoverability, 3 in estimated density, a 6 in cleanliness and a 4 in accessibility. Other cities that ranked low on the list include: Stamford, Connecticut Bridgeport, Connecticut Meridian, Idaho Lexington, Kentucky Bellevue, Nebraska Wilmington, Delaware Tena also listed some of the top cities when it comes to high quality and quantity public restrooms. Those were Pierre, South Dakota, Helena Montana and Hilo, Hawaii. 'One commonality between these top three cities is their smaller population size: all under 50,000,' the company wrote. 'This may make it easier to identify and tag public bathrooms on map apps compared to larger cities with more complex infrastructures. Still, ensuring visibility in bigger cities remains just as important, given the higher demand and greater number of people navigating public spaces daily.' Other cities that ranked high overall were: San Francisco, California Seattle, Washington Orlando, Florida Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Miami, Florida Honolulu, Hawaii Los Angeles, California.
