Fortune 50 BEST Places to Live for Families 2023 - Pocatello, Idaho, RANKED #43

Downtown Pocatello

To select the Best Places to Live for Families in each state, Fortune evaluated nearly 1,900 cities, towns, suburbs, exurbs, villages, and townships that had approximately 20,000 residents across all 50 states in the U.S. This range provided a broad universe of places that offered high-quality amenities in communities with a hometown feel, according to Fortune.

Fortune looked at some key data points in these five categories: 

  • Education
  • Aging resources
  • General wellness
  • Financial health
  • Livability

The list: https://fortune.com/well/ranking/best-places-families/2023/
