North Liberty named one of Iowa's best places for young families

North Liberty is one of the best places in Iowa for young families, consumer finance site Nerd Wallet found based on an analysis of home affordability, prosperity and growth, quality of education and family friendliness. It’s the second year the site has conducted the analysis.
The ranking was driven largely because of a 60 percent increase in the income of North Liberty families since 1999. Writes Kamran Rosen:

Partnerships, such as the Small Business Development Program, which partners businesses in North Liberty with the University of Iowa, have successfully fostered job growth, and this is reflected in the 1.9% unemployment rate. In addition to high marks for prosperity, North Liberty also scores well when it comes to family friendliness — 23.1% of residents are families with children.
