State of Texas Children 2019: Child Well-Being in Webb County
Davis, Cassie
Center for Public Policy Priorities
Located on the U.S.-Mexico border, Webb County is an international trading center, bursting with culture and opportunities. But the county's future success depends on whether every Webb County child has access to opportunities that help them reach their full potential. Ensuring the well-being of all Webb County's children--across neighborhood, income, immigration status, race and ethnicity--is essential for each child's well-being and that of the community. Unfortunately, Webb County is not doing as well as Texas overall on many indicators of children's health, education and financial security--revealing a pattern of underinvestment in children's futures. This Webb County report is part of a larger series of reports in the Texas Kids Count project that focuses on equity in child well-being across Texas and in several of its major metro areas. [Texas Kids Count is a project of the Center for Public Policy Priorities. Additional funding for this paper was provided by Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc.]
