Answering this is difficult, but one measure could be access to education and public healthcare. Using this measure, Hyderabad has 401 health centres, 0.05 centres per 1,000 residents. And though Delhi has far more health centres (588), after adjusting for population, its residents have less access to public healthcare compared to Hyderabad’s. Champapet, though, is an anomaly in Hyderabad where most of the wards enjoy better access to schools and health centres compared to other metros. For instance, in Mumbai and Delhi, wards in the southern part of the city score higher than the northern parts.
