The team at HireAHelper determined which cities in the U.S. are the best for families. They analyzed multiple factors to determine that Irvine, California, is the best American city for families. Irvine earned its high score due to its A+ rating for public schools and scored highly on popular neighborhood rating websites.
The quality of the public schools helped offset Irvine’s higher cost of living and high cost of childcare. Irvine is clearly pricey, but median salaries here are high, indicating a healthy job market. Irvine is also safe, has good public parks, and lots of fun activities for families to enjoy together. California is also a state with paid family leave.
The other high-ranking cities are Plano, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, San Jose, Boise, New York City, and Madison.
