Affordability
Even though New York is infamous for the expensive property. One tends to overlook the diverse suburb areas and smaller towns that make up the state. In terms of affordability, New York is amongst the top states and New Mexico and Louisiana are at the bottom.
Education & Child-Care
Vermont and North Dakota are amongst those states that have a great track record of incredible quality education. North Dakota and Minneapolis have made efforts to be family-friendly. Their impressive statistics in their child-care facilities and educational prospects validate their efforts. Massachusetts has a notably low child mortality rate, as well as some of the best opportunities for young academics.
Family-Fun
The Big Apple has been a notable hub for entertainment and family-related activities. New York is an incredible space of creativity and opportunity to expose your children to. However, the closer you are to the entertainment, the more expensive and smaller your space becomes. If you have a large family that needs large spaces, then you might want to consider other states like Massachusetts. Massachusetts has loads of family-related activities due to its diverse cities across the state.
Safety & Health
If your child needs specialized healthcare or you want to be around better facilities in general, then Vermont is the state for you. This is not only because of their quality provision of services, but they also have an incredibly low crime rate. It’s so low, it accounts for 1% of the United States’ violent crimes. If health is of absolute importance for your family, then Oklahoma is one to avoid due to its alarming statistics.
Socio-Economic
Succeeding in the various socio-economics factors is rather challenging. This is not the case for North Dakota for their figures are top drawer. North Dakota and Minneapolis have one of the lowest percentiles of families in poverty. This could be due to its widespread work opportunities and efforts to ensure job security. Minneapolis has great assets in its affordability across the city, with one of the highest medians in household incomes. New Orleans is a tourism hub, drawing a lot of attention to the Louisiana state – their socioeconomics factors are one, if not the worst in the country. It’s challenging finding a place that has everything you want for your family and more. Unfortunately, there are no places that have everything but there are states in the US that are super close to achieving it all. With whichever state you raise your children in, the US has incredible opportunities in all of them! So don’t worry about it too much!
