With families looking for a fresh start once the COVID-19 pandemic dies down and moving becomes practical, the personal-finance website WalletHub recently released its report on 2021's Best and Worst States to Raise a Family, which found New Hampshire ranked sixth-best in the nation.

Helping the Granite State to its high ranking was its top spots for lowest infant mortality rate and percentage of families in poverty.

To determine the best states in which to put down family roots, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 52 key indicators of family-friendliness. The data set ranges from the median annual family income to housing affordability to the unemployment rate.
