Our friends at WalletHub.com took the time to check this out for us. The took 17 key metrics to measure health and delivery costs, friendliness and accessibility.
The study ranges from pediatricians per capita, to C-Section births to annual costs for having a child. Their research produced some interesting results.
Using this formula, here are a list of the top 5 states that are best to have children.
- Vermont (Having the highest number of child-care centers per 100,000 residents).
