By Grace Kennington 2nd Oct 2026
A new study from MoneySuperMarket has named Rutland in the top ten places in England to raise a family.
The study scored local authorities across England on factors that impact the daily life of a family, from housing to childcare costs, green spaces, education and road safety.
Rutland ranked 6th best place to raise a family, with Telford and Wrekin coming in on top, followed by Solihull in second place and St Helens in third place.
England's smallest county was given a score of 59.39 out of 100 over all, ranking highly for feeling of community, childcare affordability and education.
Rutland also ranks second over all for best places in England for Education.
Rutland is the only place in the top five for Education that also made it into the overall top 15, as other top school areas come with much higher cost of living.
