| The Village of Morton Grove was selected by Family
Circle magazine as one of the nation's "10 Best Towns for Families."
The article appears in the magazine's August 2007 edition. The publication
announced the results of its search to identify the best communities
across the country that combine big-city opportunities with suburban
charm, a blend of affordable housing, good jobs, top-rated schools,
wide-open spaces and a lot less stress. Family Circle partnered
with On Board, a New York City research firm providing real estate
and demographic data to assemble a list of 1,850 towns with populations
between 15,000 and 150,000 and a large concentration of households
with an average income of $65,000. From that number, 800 localities
were selected based on family-friendly criteria, including cost
of living, jobs, schools, health care, air quality, green space
and crime rate. Family Circle assessed which towns best met those
standards and ranked them according to state. The winners were selected
from the highest-rated towns in the top 10 nationwide.
