Top 50+ American Cities in 2010

Thinking of raising a family in the US?  Check out this survey. A wide range of criteria was considered to reach these conclusions. They include in order of priority:  

• quality of schools; 
• affordability and availability of quality housing; 
• low crime rates; 
• job availability and growth; 
• number of registered sex offenders; 
• recreational opportunities; 
• quality/quantity of pediatricians/family physicians; 
• commute time and distance; 
• proximity to a good children's hospital; 
• quality/quantity of childcare facilities and preschools; 
• and air quality.

This list looks very comprehensive to me, giving the survey quite a bit of credibility.
