A NOTE FROM OUR EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ALYSON SHONTELL
Nearly half of Americans are stuck in the middle—caring for their own children along with their aging parents.

 

Members of this so-called “sandwich generation” are shouldering greater financial burdens and bearing the emotional and physical stress that comes with taking care of two generations while taking care of themselves.

 

The right community can make all the difference for multigenerational households, hometowns where each generation can access and foster the resources and relationships they need. This week, we launched our inaugural Top 25 Best Places to Live for Families to help families find the best areas to call home.

 

Fortune analyzed hundreds of thousands of data points across nearly 2,000 cities in the U.S., considering education, general wellness, livability, housing affordability, and access to quality health care.

 

See if your community made it on our Top 25 Best Places to Live for Families, below.
