Burlington Rated #1 by National Mag

Where's the best place to raise a family? Well, Burlington Vermont, of course and Children's Health Magazine said so! Many residents said they like it because its clean, safe and there's a lot to do when the kids are out of school. So what gave Burlington the high marks? The schools! There's a lot of money spent on each student which is one factor toward the high graduation rate. Right there are two reasons the magazine says the city is number one of 100 rated. Burlington also has fewer obese children because it has fewer fast food joints. What else makes Burlington make the top of the list? More advanced degrees and higher median incomes than other parts of the country.
