A new report says if you’re looking for the best places in America to raise a family, you’ll want to home in on towns in six states.
According to Niche, a website that helps people find good schools and neighborhoods, the 20 best places to raise a family in 2024 are all in Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Ohio.
It’s unclear why the top 20 list all ended up in the same handful of states, but Niche says it combines millions of user reviews with data from U.S. Census Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create the rankings.
