Cedar Rapids Named One of America's 10 Best Places to Grow Up
Cedar Rapids has been selected as one of "America's 10 Best Places to Grow Up" by U.S. News and World Report. The list, along with an article and slideshow, was posted on www.usnews.com August 19, 2009.
Criteria for selection were based on data gathered from OnBoard Informatics, which provides U.S. News and World Report with all of the data points in its Best Places to Live Tool. The tool is a database with 2,000 locales throughout the United States that have a population of at least 10,000 and a crime rate below or equal to the national average.
A number of data points are considered, including crime rate, area schools, abundant green space, recreational activities, cultural activities and kids per square mile. The search was then narrowed down by places with many recreational activities specifically for children.
Other cities included were Virgina Beach, VA; Madison, AL; San Jose, CA; Overland Park, KS; Boston, MA; Denver, CO; Rochester, MN; Plano, TX; and Edison, NJ.
