Fiscal problems have been particularly unkind to the City of Kindness, as Anaheim, California, residents call their home city. According to a new report by California Auditor Elaine M. Howle, Anaheim was added to the “high” (worst) category for overall risk of financial distress in the state.
Just 12 of the 423 cities scored by Howle were ranked as high in the report. Anaheim was one of five additions to that category, the others being Lompoc, Modesto, Montebello, and Torrance. Those cities bucked the state’s overall fiscal improvement, despite COVID-19 problems.
