12/15/2010 07:43:23 AM Report AbuseI am not trying to be negative at all however, I am concerned as to why Portland Oregon is on here? This kind of makes me question the credibility of this article. I am from Portland..grew up there and there is nothing about Portland that says "Family Friendly." Safety is a bit of an issue and this world is not going to get better. I could be a little judgmental and someone may have a better opinion..but I am speaking from experience. Portland cannot be one of the best, I refuse to believe that.

12/12/2010 09:49:15 AM Report AbuseWhile this ranking is impressive it cannot include children of color. The recent reports from the Urban League of Portland the Communities of Color paint a far different picture of Portland (and the state of Oregon) in terms of pre-natal health care, infant mortality and other factors that impact the life of children. Children of color in Portland (as well as the US generally) simply have greater odds to overcome in having healthy childhoods.
