Eastvale – The City of Eastvale was recently ranked the seventh best place to live in the nation and was the only California state to be listed in Fortune’s 2023 ranking of the “50 Best Places to Live for Families.”

Fortune evaluated nearly 1,900 “cities, towns, suburbs, exurbs, villages, and townships that had between 25,000 and 750,000 residents across all 50 states in the U.S.” stated the City.

In Fortune’s article, they discussed how the pandemic increased loneliness in the country and increased mental health strain. Therefore, they concluded that families are looking for a place to live that can offer support systems and community. 

“In our analysis of nearly 1,900 cities across the country, the best places to live scored high on assets like health care, education, and resources for seniors—all of which can help fight isolation and build social ties,” stated Fortune.  

“For the first time, this year’s list highlights the best place to live in each of the 50 states,” they continued.

“We factored in data like affordability, walkability, and a city’s well-being index, which can correlate strongly with community connectedness. Fortune’s analysis resulted in a ranking of cities where people can weave themselves into the fabric of the community by accessing a myriad of resources in the town and surrounding areas. Beyond being a factor in longevity, feeling socially connected builds resilience, reduces stress, and can give people purpose as they age.”

“We are beyond excited for this ranking,” said Eastvale Mayor Todd Rigby. “It speaks to our community’s commitment to growth and innovation, and we are proud that Fortune recognizes our efforts.”

The City of Eastvale has a population of 69,324 and a median household income of $132,622. It also has the median home sale price of $861,764.
