New England Dominates List of the 20 Best States for Kids
Which states seem to have the kids’ best interests in mind? The future of our society lies with younger generations, but each state’s investment in its children differs.
To see which states excel in this area, the charity finder and rater Smilehub compiled a list by comparing each state across four main categories:
- health and wellness
- strength of support systems
- educational systems
- family and working life
They used 27 weighted metrics—including family doctors per capita, life expectancy at birth, and children’s charities per capita—that were relevant to the wider categories. Indicators were measured on a 100-point scale, with 100 representing the best conditions for kids.
Massachusetts ranked highest overall in this study. The state excelled in the family and working life category, suggesting that many parents’ jobs are more than sufficient in covering the costs of having a family.
Author's summary: New England tops the list of best states for kids.
