Wisconsin has been ranked the fourth-best state to raise a family in 2026, according to a new report from WalletHub.
The rankings were based on factors such as median family income, housing affordability, crime rates, school performance and health care quality. WalletHub evaluated states across five key dimensions using a 100-point scale: Family fun, health and safety, education and child care, affordability, and socio-economics.
Wisconsin performed strongest in socio-economics, ranking seventh, while its lowest placement came in family fun at 20th.

State and national elections get a lot of negative attention, but at least voters have a better chance of knowing what the Democratic and Republican candidates stand for—unlike the spring nonpartisan races, where you have to do some homework on candidates to vote for your values. But that might change as a group in Waukesha County shows the value of having that research.
Kristin Hansen told UpNorthNews she started Blue Sky Waukesha County after years of frustration over not knowing much about the candidates for school boards, county boards, and municipal governments like city councils, village boards, and town boards.
