The Best Cities for Raising a Family
When it comes to raising a family, California isn’t always an ideal place. The high cost of living, including astronomical home prices, puts many cities out of reach.
Scholaroo recently released a list of the top 152 cities to raise a family. The rankings were based on 33 metrics across 7 categories: Safety, Health care, Finances, Education, Leisure, Quality of Life, and Home Atmosphere.
Warwick, Rhode Island took the top spot followed by Charleston, West Virginia and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Although no California cities made it into the top 10, a few made it into the top 50.
