  Do you live in the best place for your family? A new analysis of over 2,000 cities across the country may have you rethinking relocation. Or feeling grateful for your ancestral hometown. For the third year in a row,Fortune analyzed cities livability for multigenerational families, ranking important assets like health care, education, affordability, resources for seniors and more to determine the top50 cities in each state for families.

  At the top of the list for 2024: Silver Spring, Maryland. With a population of about 82,000, Silver Spring is a suburb of Washington, D.C., just six miles away from the capital. Known for its lovely downtown with small businesses and a lively arts community, Silver Spring is a compelling choice as the top town for American families. The median household income is around $106,000 and the suburb is notably diverse, with a population thats 7.5 percent Asian, 28.7 percent Black, 27.2 percent Hispanic and 34.7 percent White. In 2023, Silver Spring was ranked as the third best place to live in America, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, snagged the top spot. In 2022, Silver Spring didnt even make the top ten, so the area has certainly seen a glow up.

  Next up for second place this year is Upper Merion, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia with a population of around 35,500. In third place, Chantilly, Virginia, followed by Ann Arbor, Michigan and Mason, Ohio. Also in the top ten are Franklin, Tennessee; Lafayette, Colorado; Overland Park, Kansas; Morristown, New Jersey; and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

  Though the analysis doesnt deem any place as bad to live, the last spot goes to Lafayette, Louisiana, which has an affordable cost of living and has seen a recent 10 percent surge in population growth. The 49th best city to live in is Enterprise, Nevada, with Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Providence, Rhode Island just trailing behind.
