While there are a few big cities in the mix, the majority of those on the list are smaller, little-known towns. MoneySense sifted through statistics and analytics from data providers to find out which communities served families best, from the cost of daycare to the amount of kids under the age 15 residing there.
Calling a place home is different for everyone. But you have to admit, having similarly aged children, lots of community events and affordable care makes it easier and better for kids and their parents. Here are the latest numbers; see if where you live made the cut.
