According to a recent Yahoo Finance article, Carmel, Indiana has been named the #1 Best Place to Raise a Family in the Midwest in 2019!

Here is an excerpt from the article:

If you’re looking to raise a family, the city you call home can affect many parts of your life. It potentially impacts the jobs available to you, how much you earn, how much it costs to live comfortably and how easy it is to build savings. Other factors like local schools and population also play a large role. We at SmartAsset understand that choosing where you and your family live is a big decision, and that’s why we created this list. Using data across 12 states in 10 metrics, we ventured to find the best places in the Midwest to raise a family…
