Family Circle and Onboard Informatics identify the top 10 towns for families by narrowing down a list of 4,200 towns with a population between 10,000 and 150,000, and pulling localities where a high concentration of households have a median income between $50,000 and $100,000.

Four metrics were used to compare the remaining qualifying towns and pinpoint the top 10 places: median income, median home price, the percentage of households with children, and GreatSchools rankings.

The Google Map below displays where each of the top 10 towns are located. Selecting a pin or town from the list provides a drilldown of the four metrics in each location.
