Where Are The Best Cities In Montana To Raise Kids?

Two Montana Cities Named Best Cities To Raise A Family

Just recently I wrote about whether or not Montana was a good state to raise a family in, which you can read about here.

Well, today we're going to go a little bit deeper and find out what two cities in Montana WalletHub thinks are the best for raising a family.

Montana Scores Big In National Family Living Rankings

Granted, saying something is the best is a bit subjective, but with some data gathering, you can make the case for saying something truly is the best.

WalletHub created 5 different categories in which to base their findings when it comes to what cities in America are the best for raising a family, and they are as follows:

1. Family Fun
2. Health and Safety
3. Education and Child Care
4. Affordabiltiy
5. Socio-Ecomonics

So now that we have the background on how they came up their rankings, where do the two Montana cities that made the list rank, and what two are they?

How Montana Cities Compare in WalletHub’s Family-Friendly Ranking

Ranked as the #51 best city in America to raise a family, we find Billings. Here are their rankings:

• Total Score - 56.24
• Family Fun - 138
• Health and Safety - 155
• Education and Child Care - 43
• Affordabiltiy - 29
• Socio-Ecomonics - 39

That puts Billings ahead of some cities around our parts, like Salt Lake City in Utah at #54 and Cheyenne in Wyoming at #55.

You don't have to go much further down the list either to find the second Montana city, as Missoula is the #63 best city to raise a family. Here are Missoula's rankings:

• Total Score - 55.02
• Family Fun - 92
• Health and Safety - 132
• Education and Child Care - 15
• Affordabiltiy - 88
• Socio-Ecomonics - 80

While WalletHub thinks only two cities are worthy of raising a family in Montana, we all know that's not true. Check out our gallery of the towns we think are great to raise a family under the Big Sky in.
