1. Raleigh (44th)

Raleigh ranked relatively better among North Carolina cities but still struggled with challenges like affordability for families and a rising cost of living. Positive aspects include decent education options and recreational opportunities.
2. Durham (65th)

Durham’s rankings were impacted by lower safety scores and high housing costs. However, its growing economy and cultural offerings provide appeal to families seeking urban advantages.
3. Charlotte (70)

Charlotte faces hurdles with affordability and traffic issues, which lowered its rankings. While it benefits from numerous job opportunities and recreational spaces, safety and education metrics hindered its overall score.
4. Greensboro (140)

5. Winston-Salem (150)

Winston-Salem’s affordability helped offset other challenges like weaker safety scores. However, the limited availability of high-quality education affected its standing.
6. Fayetteville (166)

Fayetteville ranked the lowest among these cities, primarily due to poor safety ratings and less favorable education options. Its military presence provides some economic stability but did not improve its overall family-friendly appeal.
