Niche.com ranked Arcadia as #17 in its “Best Towns to Raise a Family in California” list. Niche is an online company that offers reviews and opinions from everyday experts such as parents and students about schools, towns, states and counties. The website used eight different criteria for its rankings: percentages for the age ranges 35-44 years old and nine years old and under, school ratings, crime and safety, community involvement and investment by the city, housing, and access to libraries, day cares and grocery stores. Crime and safety and education were both weighted 20 percent. Access to libraries, community involvement and investment, housing and the percentages for the two age ranges were weighted 10 percent, and access to day cares and grocery stores were both weighted 5 percent.
