22 August 2001 - 3:30pm
Environmental group Zero Population Growth has published a list of U.S. cities rated in terms of quality of life for children.
Environmental group Zero Population Growth looked at 25 US urban areas and other smaller communties and rated the locales on their 'kid-friendliness." Using "seven categories -- education, health, community life, economics, environment, population change and public safety" the researchers ranked places using an A thru F system. Portland got top marks because of easy access to good education, jobs, health care and clean air as well as safe streets and public transportation.One area where Portland did not score well, however, was in affordable housing."
