The financial services company WalletHub has released its Best Places to Raise a Family in 2025 list and Irvine is ranked fourth-best in America. (Actually, we believe that our city is the very best place to raise a family!)
The report compared more than 180 U.S. cities using 45 key metrics across five factors: family fun, health and safety, education and child care, affordability, and socioeconomic factors.
Irvine’s abundance of family-friendly activities, world-class medical facilities, quality of education and childcare programs, high-paying jobs, outstanding parks and trails, and thriving community programs were among the many reasons for the City’s fourth-best ranking.
