The statistical portrait is based on 17 indicators of child well being: (1) children in single-parent families; (2) family income; (3) children living in poverty; (4) children in families receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); (5) percent of population receiving food stamps; (6) percent of students participating in child nutrition programs; (7) children referred to juvenile courts; (8) births lacking adequate prenatal care; (9) low-birthweight infants; (10) infant mortality rate; (11) percent of under-21 population eligible for Medicaid; (12) teen pregnancy rate; (13) sexually transmitted disease rate; (14) child death rate; (15) teen violent death rate; (16) high school dropout rate; and (17) percent of students receiving special education. Following an executive summary, the report presents the data in three sections. Section 1, "Families and Communities," reveals that 21 percent of children live in single-parent families, the percent of children in poverty is 20.7 percent, about 14 percent of children are in families receive AFDC, and about 4 percent of children were referred to juvenile courts in 1991.
