Washington-NoVa region named among top metros for working moms
(Photo by Getty Images) The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro area has emerged as one of the best large U.S. cities for mothers juggling the demands of work and parenting, ranking second nationwide in a new analysis of economic and family-focused metrics released by CoworkingCafe. The region stood out for its high employment rate among mothers, robust remote work options, competitive income levels, and strong access to child care, education and healthcare. According to the report, 77% of mothers in the Washington region are employed — four percentage points above the national average. About 26% of those working moms have remote jobs, one of the highest rates among major metropolitan areas nationwide. The metro area's performance reflects both workforce trends and longstanding infrastructure. Working mothers here earn a median income of $70,000 — the third highest among the nation's largest metros. And despite an average commute time of 32 minutes — longer than the national average of 25.4 minutes — many are offsetting that strain with flexible work-from-home arrangements and the growing availability of coworking spaces, with nearly seven available per 100,000 working-age adults. Child care access is another factor lifting the region's ranking. The area boasts roughly 1,000 child care centers and 100 schools per 100,000 children, helping it land sixth place nationally for education metrics. While child care costs average $13,800 annually — or about 9.2% of a typical family's income — the availability and quality of services play a key role in supporting working parents, the analysis noted. Health care access is also a major advantage. Nearly three-quarters of employed mothers in the region — 74.4% — receive employer-based health coverage, compared to the national average of 70.4%. Pediatric care is also robust, with approximately 591 pediatricians per 100,000 children under age 21. The new ranking analyzed large metros based on employment rates for mothers, income, work flexibility, commute times, and access to childcare, education, health care and environmental quality. The Washington area ranked behind only one other large metro in the nation — Minneapolis — reinforcing its status as a leading hub for women striving to balance professional and parental responsibilities. While air quality ranked 18th among large metros, the region's overall infrastructure and support systems make it one of the most favorable places in the country for mothers trying to balance it all. In addition to the region's inherent strengths, recent legislative actions in Virginia aim to further support working mothers. The Virginia General Assembly passed a comprehensive 'momnibus' package to improve maternal health outcomes, including legislation allowing doulas to assist during labor and increasing postpartum doula visits for Medicaid recipients. These measures address maternal health disparities and aim to provide better support for mothers across the state. Furthermore, the legislature approved a $200 rebate for taxpayers and bonuses for state employees and teachers, providing financial relief that can benefit working families. While proposals for permanent car tax credits and tax cuts on tips were excluded from the final budget, the enacted measures reflect a commitment to supporting working parents through both health care and economic initiatives.
