Lawnstarter found in a recent study that Houston, Texas was the dirtiest city in the country, followed by Newark, New Jersey; San Bernardino, California; Detroit, Michigan; and Jersey City, New Jersey. 

All of those cities are run by Democratic mayors, while the city that was ranked cleanest - Virginia Beach, Virginia - is run by a Republican. 

For the study, LawnStarter measured each city across four categories: 

Pollution - which measures things like air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, living conditions - like the percentage of homes with mold or rats and the number of homeless people in the city, infrastructure - like the number of waste facilities, and consumer satisfaction -the percentage of residents who find the city dirty.
