Overall Child Well-Being in Oklahoma
rank
46

In the 2024 KIDS COUNT Data Book, New England states hold two of the top three spots for overall child well-being. New Hampshire ranks first, followed by Massachusetts and Utah. Louisiana (48th), Mississippi (49th) and New Mexico (50th) are the three lowest-ranked states. A child’s chances of thriving depend not only on individual, family and community characteristics but also on the state in which they are born and raised. States vary in their wealth and other resources. Policy choices and investments also influence children’s chances for success.
