Troy Rated 7th Best Place In The State To Raise A Family

TROY, MI — It's not just the locals that consider Troy a great place to raise a family, researchers think so, too and ranked Troy the seventh best place in Michigan to raise a family, according to a new WalletHub study.

Researchers rated the 104 most populous Michigan communities on four major components: family life and fun (e.g. number of playgrounds and average commute time), education/health/safety (air quality, violent crime per capita), affordability (housing and general affordability) and socioeconomics (e.g. separation and divorce rate, wealth gap).

Troy's solid socioeconomics rating launched it to the seventh best place in Michigan to raise a family.

Other Oakland County communities that landed in the top 20 best places to raise a family in Michigan include Rochester at #1, Birmingham at #9, Royal Oak at #16 and Rochester Hills at #18.
