Personal-finance site WalletHub recently conducted its ranking of the best cities for financial fitness in America, zeroing in on residents from the 150 largest metro areas. Each metro was ranked in five categories that WalletHub deemed crucial to financial well-being: credit standing, responsible spending, savings, risk exposure, and earning power.

Three of the top five cities with the most financially fit residents are in California, including San Francisco in the No. 1 spot and the Bay Area-city of Fremont coming in at No. 2.
Below are the top 15 US cities as well as their ranking in each of the five categories of financial fitness.
