This Kids Count report details statewide trends in the well-being of Arkansas' children. The report's introduction discusses factors contributing to the need for increased attention to children and families, what voters think about issues affecting children and families, the collection of data, and federal spending in Arkansas. The subsequent statistical portrait is based on the following areas of children's well-being: family life; hunger and nutrition; health and safety; juvenile justice; child welfare; and education.
