==Quality of life== In a study conducted by [[American City Business Journals]] in 2004, Los Alamos County topped the list as the best place to live in the United States in terms of [[quality of life]]. This was attributed to the high levels of job stability, income and education of Los Alamos residents, many of whom are employed as scientists and engineers at the [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]]. The county has one of the highest number of PhDs per capita and the 2011 [[median household income]] of $110,204 per year is the second highest among all the counties in the U.S. In per capita income, Los Alamos County ranks [[New Mexico locations by per capita income|1st in New Mexico and 7th in the United States]], and has the second-lowest level of poverty in the United States, and the lowest level of child poverty.<ref name="table1"/> Other factors contributing to Los Alamos's high quality-of-life index were the access to affordable housing and short commuting times. In 2021, Los Alamos County was judged by the ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'' to be the healthiest of 3,143 [[counties and county-equivalents of the United States]] based on 84 different factors. Residents of the county lived 83.4 years on the average compared to the U.S. average of 77.5 years.<ref name="US News">{{cite web |title=Healthiest communities ranking 2021 |url=https://www.usnews.com/news/healthiest-communities/new-mexico/los-alamos-county |website=Us News and World Report |access-date=July 11, 2021}}</ref>
