(KNSI) – A national online publication praises Minnesota as one of the best places to raise a family. WalletHub has named Minnesota the fourth-best state to raise a family in 2022.

The rankings were based on five key indicators: Health and safety, education and child care, affordability, socioeconomics, and family fun. Minnesota scored highest in health and safety (#9), affordability (#9), and socioeconomic (#7).

In addition to being ranked fourth overall, Minnesota was ranked first for having the highest median family salary and second for having the lowest percentage of families living in poverty.

Finishing first in the rankings was Massachusetts, followed by New York and Vermont. The three worst states were Mississippi, New Mexico and Louisiana. Check out the full rankings by clicking here.
