A LIST FOR THURSDAY

 

These Are The 10 Most Family-Friendly Cities In The U.S.

HUFFINGTON POST

WalletHub, a personal finance website, last week released its list of “2023′s Best & Worst Places To Raise A Family.” In coming up with the ranking, it analyzed data from 182 U.S. cities, including the 150 most populated cities overall as well as at least two of the most populous cities in each state. Analysts examined 45 metrics spread over five categories (family fun, health and safety, education and child care, affordability, and socioeconomics) to determine the results.  Some of the data confirms cities’ reputations. New York was among the most unaffordable places to live (ranked No. 177 out of 182) but it’s high (No. 8) on the list for family fun, which includes factors like the number of ice skating rinks, bicycle rental locations and playgrounds. New York ranked first in playgrounds per capita, in fact.

 

The top 10 overall are:

1. Fremont, California.
2. Overland Park, Kansas.
3. Irvine, California.
4. Plano, Texas.
5. South Burlington, Vermont.
6. San Diego, California.
7. San Jose, California.
8. Scottsdale, Arizona.
9. Gilbert, Arizona.
10. San Francisco, California.

 

The following cities ranked in the bottom 10 overall:

• Wilmington, Delaware.
• Hialeah, Florida.
• Baltimore, Maryland.
• Shreveport, Louisiana.
• San Bernardino, California.
• Newark, New Jersey.
• Birmingham, Alabama.
• Detroit, Michigan.
• Memphis, Tennessee.
• Cleveland, Ohio.

These cities shared low ratings for health and safety. Baltimore, Birmingham, Detroit and Memphis (along with St. Louis, Missouri, which ranked No. 160 overall) had the highest rates of violent crime per capita. Detroit and Newark also made the bottom five for median family salary (adjusted for cost of living).
