Jacksonville Falls Short for Families

Affordability was slightly better at 69, but still lagged behind other Florida cities. The top spots? Fremont, CA, and Overland Park, KS — proving that raising a family might be easier elsewhere than in the Sunshine State. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
