• WalletHub Put Texas Near Bottom For Babies. Its Own Rankings Tell A Different Story (dallasexpress.com) — Allen shows up in a positive light here, landing among WalletHub’s top 10 real estate markets even as Texas overall ranks poorly in the site’s new “best states to have a baby” list. The piece questions WalletHub’s methodology, noting Texas’ strong economy, migration gains, and mixed maternal-health indicators, and argues the low statewide baby ranking may overstate how bad conditions are for families.
