With August being Child Support Awareness Month and 1 in 6 children in the U.S. living in poverty, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2023’s States with the Most Underprivileged Children, as well as expert commentary.
In order to bring awareness to the condition of underprivileged children throughout the U.S., WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 26 key measures of neediness. The data set ranges from share of children in households with below-poverty income to child food-insecurity rate to share of maltreated children.
Welfare of Children in Arizona (1=Most; 25=Avg.):
- 15th – % of Children in Households with Below-Poverty Income
- 18th – Child Food-Insecurity Rate
- 4th – % of Uninsured Children
- 25th – Infant Mortality Rate
- 6th – % of Children in Foster Care
- 14th – % of Children in Single-Parent Families
- 10th – Child & Youth Homeless Rate
