ORLANDO, Fla. - How dirty is your city? Now there is a way to find out.

It's not the nicest list by any means, especially if you're city is at the top, but there is a new report out there that claims to have identified the 152 "dirtiest cities in America."

The report was compiled by a lawn care website using a variety of aggregated data points across four main categories – pollution, living conditions, infrastructure, and consumer satisfaction – and looked at median air quality index, water quality violations, greenhouse-gas emissions per capita, as well as home conditions, and number of junkyards and recycling centers.

A total of 48 cities were eliminated from the list, according to the published methodology, because data was lacking for a fair comparison. The final sample size was 152 cities.

Good news for Florida, none of our cities made the top 5 cleanest or dirtiest.
