Best Child-Rearing States

Updated March 1, 2017 | Infoplease Staff

The Question:

I'm looking for information about what cities are best for raising children. Do you have any ideas?

The Answer:

Not really, no. There used to be an answer here, but it referred to a table that no longer exists. The basic problem is in determining what criteria establish what's "best for raising children." Proximity to good schools? Safety? Ethnic diversity? Infant mortality rate? Poverty rate? Particular laws? Access to museums? For any given criterion there are ways to research further, but the general question is just too broad. Sorry!
