Bristol, RI (WPRI) - A popular publication ranks Bristol among the top ten towns in America to raise a family.
Family Circle magazine did the story for their August 2010 issue. Bristol was the only town in New England named on the list. South Burlington, Vermont made the list in 2008.
According to the magazine, onboard informatics, a NYC research firm, assessed which towns in the United States best met the family-friendly criteria. Those criteria included affordable homes, quality schools, access to health care, green space, low crime rate, and financial stability.
The magazine notes Bristol's sense of community. One man is quoted, saying that he and his neighbors helped one another out during March's historic floods...
"In our yearly roundup of perfect places to raise kids, we salute these communities for their affordable homes, green spaces, blue-ribbon schools, and giving spirit," states the magazine's website.
