Seventeen California cities have earned perfect scores (100/100) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) for inclusive policies and services toward the LGBTQ community. This is the eleventh year that the HRC has released its Municipal Equality Index. In 2022, the average city score jumped to 68, which is an all-time high. For five consecutive years, the average score has been rising. Across the country, there were 120 cities that earned perfect scores, up from 110 last year. A total of 188 cities now offer transgender-inclusive health care benefits to city employees.
