Five States Where It's Best to Raise Kids

The decision to start a family is not an easy one. One of the main questions immediately arises: where is it better to settle down to create favorable conditions for raising children? If attempts to decide on a place leave you with more questions than answers, perhaps it is time to pay attention to the recommendations of experts, the publication writes Quartz.

For example, a place with excellent schools may be underserved by affordable health care, and a community that offers exciting cultural events may be too expensive to live in.

The financial website WalletHub recently published a ranking of the best and worst states in the US for young families. It took into account several factors, including average annual family income, housing affordability, and the quality of schools.

“In recent years, raising a family has become an expensive proposition due to the skyrocketing cost of living. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, raising a child to age 18 can cost a family more than $300,” said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo. “Given the high cost of parenthood and the responsibility that comes with it, it’s important to live in a city that is affordable while still providing quality healthcare, education, safety, and opportunities for advancement.”

WalletHub compared 50 states across five categories: family fun, health and safety, education and child care, affordability, and socioeconomics. Scores for each category were based on 50 different indicators, which were used to create a weighted overall score. Data for the study came from sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the National Center for Education Statistics.
