Two Ohio cities
among top 100 for young families
Dec 22, 2014
The Midwest has a reputation for good schools and strong communities.
That has not gone unnoticed by a new report from Apartment List ranking
the top 100 cities for young families.
Two Ohio cities, including one from the Dayton region, made the list.
Apartment List, a San Francisco-based website that lists properties for
lease, ranked 500 cities in the U.S. based on four factors important to
families:
Safety, based on FBI statistics for the number of violent crimes and
property crimes per 100,000 residents.
Housing cost, based on the Apartment List and American Community
Survey's percentage of the average income required to rent the average
two-bedroom apartment.
School quality, based on Department of Education data for high school
graduation rates for public school districts in that city.
Child friendlines s, based on the American Community Survey's
percentage of children in the city.
As for the Ohio towns, Parma was No. 36 on the list while Kettering was
No. 67.
Incidentally, the No. 1 city on the list was Fishers, Ind.
