Niche, a leading platform that connects students and families with colleges and schools, has named Naperville the top city to raise a family in America.
Elgin ranked 94th.
Naperville also came in 3rd in Best Cities To Live In behind The Woodlands, Texas, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Niche creates the annual Best Places to Live rankings by using data from the U.S. Census, FBI, BLS, and CDC combined with millions of resident reviews. The company considers factors such as affordability, the local housing market, neighborhood diversity, area public schools, walkability, and more.
“Whether our users are young professionals, parents with young kids, or retirees, Niche’s Best Places to Live rankings serve as an excellent starting point for considering a move,” said Luke Skurman, CEO and founder of Niche. “The pandemic triggered a new set of possibilities — suddenly, many individuals and families found themselves more mobile than ever before, and in the past two years they have continued to think hard about where they really want to live. Families wondering about an area’s school district, a major part of many relocation decisions, can also use our comprehensive school profiles and rankings to get a sense of what their child’s future school might be like.”
Naperville also ranked 1st in “Cities With The Best Public Schools.”
