A study from WalletHub has ranked Lubbock as one of the worst cities in the United States to celebrate Thanksgiving. 

The study included 100 most populous cities and ranked each according to a variety of factors, including “the cost of Thanksgiving dinner and share of delayed flights to volunteer opportunities per capita and forecasted precipitation.” Out of the 100 cities included on the list, Lubbock ranked 93rd.

Among the various categories of factors, Lubbock was even further down the list when it came to “Safety and Accessibility,” with Lubbock ranking 97th out of 100. The site ranked Lubbock’s affordability near the bottom of the list at 89th.

Lubbock was also the lowest ranked city in Texas, with none of the other cities in Texas having an overall rating below Lubbock’s. Out of the 13 cities in Texas on the list, eight were in the top half.

Amarillo did not make it onto the list, as it falls just shy of being one of the 100 most populous cities in the United States.
