From Consumer Affairs, Dec. 10, 2024:
To determine the best states for raising a family in 2025, ConsumerAffairs compared each state on cost, safety, education, health care and quality of life.
The bottom five states for raising a family are all located in the West and South and face significant challenges in education and quality of life.
- California ranks at the bottom, with poor scores in quality of life, affordability, safety, high child poverty rates, a shortage of libraries and bad air quality.
- Texas follows closely behind, scoring poorly in health care, safety and quality of life. The state has the lowest pediatric health care score, with the highest percentages of uninsured children and families that can’t afford their children’s health care bills.
- New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada round out the bottom, with poor public education and lower rankings in quality of life.
Vermont is the best state to raise a family in. It finished first in quality of life, sixth in child health care access and sixth in education. The top five states for raising a family are Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Wyoming.

All the worse states are border or close to the border states. Tells you everything you need to know. hummm…..
The US invasion effects everything-
You are right on the money! Unfortunately, so much tax money goes to “correct” problems brought to us by illegal aliens–that little is left over to address problems that actual US citizens may be having. There is no doubt that since the children of illegal aliens do not arrive speaking English, then when they are put in the public schools, so much of the funds which provide education to our children have to by siphoned off to teach these non-English speaking children in their native language–this brings about the situation that the children of US citizens are receiving sub-standard educations. I do not hate people with brown skin, Heaven knows I have several nieces/nephews who come from one parent being of Hispanic heritage, and another nephew is half Chippewa of the Turtle Mountain Tribe, South Dakota, but enough is enough. US citizens have the right for their children to receive a good education. not the deluded pablum which is currently being served as an education. I can only hope that things will begin to change. Parents who have the wit, will and means to Home School should do exactly that.
Newsom must be so proud…
I wouldn’t have predicted a high score for Vermont, but remember how much I’ve always loved the state. CA, no surprise.
