Maybe times are tough, you\u2019re down on your luck, and you feel like no one cares.<br \/>\nFirst of all, let us assure you that people do care and that you\u2019re awesome. We don\u2019t even need to meet you to know that. Also, there are some cities in particular where caring is the name of the game, so you\u2019ll never be truly alone.<br \/>\nWhere are these supportive and sensitive cities? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog definitely cares about our lists, and we figured we\u2019d rank the most caring cities. \u00a0As it turns out, they exist all across the nation, and there are 10 places in particular that really know how to offer a shoulder to cry or lean on.<br \/>\nThe most caring cities in America were:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/atlanta-ga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlanta, GA<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/austin-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin, TX<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tucson-az\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tucson, AZ<\/a><br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/baton-rouge-la\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baton Rouge, LA<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/new-orleans-la\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Orleans, LA<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/las-vegas-nv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Las Vegas, NV<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/santa-ana-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Santa Ana, CA<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/birmingham-al\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Birmingham, AL<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/nashville-tn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nashville, TN<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/durham-nc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Durham, NC<\/a><br \/>\nYou might be a little shocked at some of these locales, but it\u2019s all done by the numbers.<br \/>\nIf you want to know where your city ranked, you can check the chart at the bottom of this article. Of course, if you\u2019re curious how exactly we did all this, you can just read the next section, where we\u2019ll go over our methodology.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Methodology<\/h2>\n<p>We took great care in crafting this caring Big Deal List and, because of that, there were a lot of criteria here.<br \/>\nWe first made a list of the 100 largest cities in the U.S. and found data using sources including the 2010 U.S. Census, Facebook, and local business listings in criteria we saw as indicative of caring. Those were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Student-counselor ratio<\/li>\n<li>Charitable donations by percent of income<\/li>\n<li>Crimes per 100,000 people (the lower the better)<\/li>\n<li>Pet shelters and rescue per capita<\/li>\n<li>Homeless services per capita<\/li>\n<li>Mental health counselors and therapists per capita<\/li>\n<li>Percent of workers who carpool (caring for the environment)<\/li>\n<li>Facebook Likes for \u201ccharities and causes\u201d per capita<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We were really aiming at focusing on all sorts of caring, whether it\u2019s for veterans, students, the poor, pets, the environment, or those who are just feeling down. That way, places that cared the most about the greatest number of things reigned supreme.<br \/>\nOnce we had that info, we ranked each place in each category from one to 100, with scores closer to one being better. Then we averaged each location\u2019s rankings into one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Big Deal Score<\/a>, with a lower number for that being more caring. From there, it was easy to see that the most caring city was Atlanta.<br \/>\nStill surprised? Let\u2019s take a look at why each of our top 10 got where they were, if that\u2019s alright with you, of course. It\u2019s okay if you want to take your time, no worries.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Atlanta, GA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/08\/caring-cities\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Most Caring Cities In America\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user DVIDSHUB<\/div>\n<p>Maybe it has something to do with Southern hospitality, but the people of Atlanta really care a lot.<br \/>\nThe pet shelters here ranked No. 3, the mental health professionals were numerous, and the homeless services ranked No. 16. Heck, a huge portion of people here Liked charities and causes on Facebook, sharing the things they care about with others.<br \/>\nProbably the most telling and impressive thing here, though, was the 17th highest charitable donations rank, with locals offering 6 percent of their yearly income to those in need.<br \/>\nMany also donate their time to organizations like Project GRAD Atlanta and Metro Atlanta Recovery Residences.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Austin, TX<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/08\/caring-cities\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Most Caring Cities In America\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Governor Rick Perry<\/div>\n<p>Austin was definitely ready to support those in need, be they human or animal.<br \/>\nFor starters, this place had the 12th most shelters and rescue programs for all our furry friends\u2019 needs.

Basically, if you need support for your troubles, whatever they are, you\u2019ll probably be able to find some help in this city.<br \/>\nThe big standout here, though, was the crime\u2014or lack thereof. Tucson had the fourth lowest crime per 100,00 people, meaning that you have some very caring police and a populace that really looks out for its community and environment.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Baton Rouge, LA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/08\/caring-cities\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Most Caring Cities In America\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Mohan Ayyar<\/div>\n<p>This city has a history of opening its doors to those in need.<br \/>\nImmediately following Hurricane Katrina, Baton Rouge took in as many as 200,000 displaced residents, and before then C.B. and Irene Pennington donated $125,000,000 to construct a new biomedical research campus that is still in use today. In short, This place is always ready to lend a helping hand.<br \/>\nThe numbers definitely back up that history. This city had the eighth most charitable donations and the 26th most facebook likes per capita, meaning that individuals throughout the community are ready to open their wallets and hearts.

You know, caring about the environment more.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s certainly true here, where people cut down on pollution and helped out their dear co-workers with the highest percent of workers who carpool regularly, at over 17 percent.<br \/>\nOf course, that wasn\u2019t the only impressive rank here.

The 11th most charitable donations also indicated that people have big hearts, and are willing to share the wealth.<br \/>\nThough this city might be known for country music, it should probably also be known as a great place for students, seeing as it had the ninth best student-counselor ratio.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Durham, NC<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/08\/caring-cities\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Most Caring Cities In America\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Mricon<\/div>\n<p>Durham definitely has a lot of love to give.<br \/>\nFor starters, Durham offers the seventh best student counselor ratio and the ninth most mental health professionals per capita.<br \/>\nAnd that\u2019s only the start of this place\u2019s generosity.
