NEW
YORK, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today
Fortune launches the third annual Fortune 50 Best Places to Live
for Families 2024, showcasing the cities and towns across America
that best support the unique needs of multigenerational families.
Two cities—top-ranked Silver Spring,
MD, and Portsmouth, NH—made
the top 10 for the second year in a row. Iowa City is the only
locale to make the list three years in a row.
This year's Fortune 50 Best Places to Live highlights a city in
each state where multigenerational families are most likely to have
access to great schools, highly recommended hospitals, affordable
housing, resources for older adults, and a strong sense of
community. The ranking is created annually as part of Fortune Well,
Fortune's health and wellness hub, which features tips and insights
working professionals need to thrive in their careers and personal
lives.
The top 10 Fortune Best Places to Live for Families 2024
are:
- Silver Spring, MD
- Township of Upper Merion,
PA
- Chantilly, VA
- Ann Arbor, MI
- Mason, OH
- Franklin, TN
- Lafayette, CO
- Overland Park, KS
- Morristown, NJ
- Portsmouth, NH
"The 50 Fortune Best Places to Live for Families list is based
on a robust data set to help our readers find places to settle down
with ample resources to support their families for the future,"
said Fortune senior reporter Alexa
Mikhail, who dove into data sets to develop the ranking.
"Where we live plays a critical role in determining the strength of
our community ties, which most heavily impacts our well-being,
happiness, and health at work and at home. It's why a list like
this is critical."
"As a growing number of people find themselves in the sandwich
generation—squeezed between caring for kids and aging parents—they
are increasingly looking for communities that support the needs of
caregivers and multigenerational families," said Jennifer Fields, Fortune Well editor. "In our
research, the cities that rose to the top were those that had a
range of resources and amenities that appeal to their oldest and
youngest residents."
Fortune Well is presented by CVS Health. To build this
comprehensive ranking, Fortune worked with several key data
partners—including CVS Health, Caring.com, Healthgrades,
Ineedana.com, Sharecare, and WitLytic—to help provide information
for nearly 200 data categories.
Fortune also independently evaluated over 2,000 cities, towns,
suburbs, exurbs, villages, and townships with approximately 20,000
residents or more in all 50 states. This wide-ranging analysis
provided a broad array of places that offer essential resources
from health care to education as well as a sense of community. The
methodology can be found here.
