Florida ranks 31st in the country in child “well-being,” doing well in education but lagging on economic and health issues, according to an annual report released Wednesday by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
The report measures states on a series of indicators, with Florida ranking fifth on education, 37th in economic well-being, 33rd in health and 32nd in what the foundation calls “family and community.”
The family and community category involves issues such as children in single-parent families and teen birth rates.
The top-ranked states in the report were New Hampshire, Utah and Massachusetts, while the lowest-ranked were New Mexico, Louisiana and Mississippi.
