While you may not make your decision to move to a particular location based on a list on this blog or in a magazine, you may find the information useful when beginning your research. Because there are so many different places that you could move, you may find that the list is a good starting point to narrow down your choices.
So, if you have kids and want to move, where should you go? It really depends on what your needs are – and what you want for your kids. Most lists, including this one, take into account healthcare, education, cost of living, activities, and the potential to lead a healthy life.
Remember, none of these states are necessarily any better than the other – it all depends on you. But, it seems that across the board and in many different studies, these states keep popping up on the best places to move with your kids:
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Rhode Island
- New Hampshire
- Hawaii
- Ohio
- Massachusetts
- Maine
- Vermont
- Iowa
These states tend to have the best opportunities for kids, especially in healthcare and education. So, if you are thinking of moving but don’t have a particular destination in mind, why not consider these states first?
Oh, and if you’re wondering what states tend to rank near the bottom of the list, we’ve got those, too:
- New Jersey
- New Mexico
- Oregon
- Alaska
- Nevada
- Arkansas
- Texas
- Arizona
- Mississippi
- Louisiana
- Florida
