Caring means displaying kindness and concern for others.

This can be expressed in many ways- from reaching out a helping hand to a friend in need and donating toys to children during the holidays to staying by someone's side as they fight an illness too strong for medication.

Wallethub stated that Americans have showed their care through charitable donations more and more.

The site recently released a list of the most caring cities in the nation and several Nevada cities made the list.

The highest-placing Nevada city was Reno at number 31. Reno was second overall for 'highest percentage of workers who carpool'.

Henderson came in at number 64 on the list. The city came in 16th overall for 'caring for the community'.

Las Vegas came in at number 80 on the list and North Las Vegas was number 83.

To determine the list, Wallethub compared the 100 most populated cities across three dimensions: caring for the community, caring for the vulnerable, and caring in the workforce.

Those three dimensions were then evaluated using 39 relevant metrics including violent crime rate, caring for the environment, child poverty rate, disability-friendliness of employers, paramedics per capita, and firefighters per capita.
