WI Ranks High for Families

Wisconsin is receiving high marks as a place to raise a family. 

That’s according to a recent study by finance website WalletHub, which ranked all 50 states based on how supportive of an environment it offers to raise a family.  The family-friendly conditions include family income, housing affordability, crime rates, and more.  Wisconsin was ranked fourth overall on the list, ranking in the top ten in categories such as education and child care and socio-economics.  Only North Dakota, Minnesota, and Massachusetts were rated higher.
