RECBL - Real Estate News
Parents raising children solo have unique needs. Being a single parent requires a different life balance and a knowledge of the most appropriate areas to live and raise a child.
The needs of a single parent can be vastly different than those of two parent households.
A recent study by GOBankingRates identifies the states with the most favorable conditions for meeting those needs, including an ideal median income:
1. New Jersey
Median Household Income: $72,093
State Support: Expanded Medicaid, earned-income tax credit and paid family leave program
2. Rhode Island
Median Household Income: $56,852
State Support: Expanded Medicaid, earned-income tax credit and paid family leave program
3. Michigan
State Support: Expanded Medicaid and earned-income tax credit
Bonus: The average grocery cost and home list price in Michigan are among the lowest in the nation.
4. Washington
State Support: Expanded Medicaid, earned-income tax credit and paid family leave program (effective 2019)
Bonus: There is no state income tax in Washington.
5. Illinois
State Support: Expanded Medicaid and earned-income tax credit
