Charlotte ranks among the top cities in the U.S. for attracting families, but Raleigh placed even higher, according to a recent analysis by Forbes.
The rankings are based on demographic data on the increase in the number of children aged 5 to 14 and the number of children aged 5 to14 per capita.
"We picked this age range because it encompasses when parents often move due to such issues as school quality, the cost of housing and long-term economic security," Forbes says.
The top 10 "Baby Boomtowns" are as follows:
1. Raleigh
2. Austin, Texas
3. Las Vegas
4. Charlotte
5. Phoenix
6. Dallas-Fort Worth
7. Atlanta
8. Houston
9. Nashville, Tenn.
10. Orlando, Fla.
