Snowflake has been listed as No. 1 among the Best Cities for Young Families in Arizona in a story by Jonathan Todd posted April 13 on nerdwallet.com.
He noted that the state’s population has increased 750 percent since 1950, while during that same period the U.S. population increased only 103 percent.
“When NerdWallet crunched the data to find the best cities for young families in Arizona, we found strong schools, recent economic growth and family friendly communities,” according to the article, which also noted that the town is affordable.
Snowflake was first with a paragraph that states, “With a population of 5,566, Snowflake is one of the smallest places in the top 10, but the town takes the top spot with its combination of affordable homes and excellent schools that were rated 8 out of 10 at GreatSchools. The median home value in Snowflake is $131,900, well below the statewide median of $165,100, and the town’s GreatSchools score is one of the best marks in the state. Young families have noticed: 38 percent of households are families with at least one child–one of the highest marks in the state.”
