Where Is the Best Place to Raise a Child?

Question by Eneri: Where is the best place to raise a child?
I was raised in California, and I do not want my child growing up there, too many gangs, violence, drugs. I am willing to move if it means he will be safe, and away from that kind of temptation. Is there such thing as a safe city, a place where drug abuse is minimum?

This may or may not help. If you find a city you are interested in, you can go to the city website and look up crime data. It should have a general overview of data categorized by type of crime, and then it should be broken down by different areas.

And as far as the best place to live it will depend on a lot of things. Do you want a religious environment? Does the quality of the schools matter to you? Can you stand the idea of living in a small town? Does climate matter to you?

I don’t think you’ll find anywhere totally crime-free, but an option that may be feasible is living in a small community that is within an hour of a medium-large city. That way you aren’t cut off from convenience, but you do get the advantage of living in a place where people are held accountable by the sparse population.
