child well being is broken down into four different categories. We have Economics, education, health and community. The combination of those four different categories is exactly what has ranked our state last in the entire country. We still have *** long way to go when it comes to creating opportunities for all of new Mexico kids to thrive. But those numbers don't tell the full story. The real story is what is new Mexico doing in response to the rankings and it shows that we're taking steps to make that better. First. We have Economics are state ranks 48th in that category, where the book reports that 26% of Children in our state live in poverty were making recent investments that go directly into our kids and our families in our classrooms. Next we have education. Our state is last in the country in that category, with 56% of Children under five, not in school, but that's *** 4% improvement from the 60%. That was reported back in 2012 in 2011, of our high schoolers were not graduating on time. Now, that's down to 25 percent. So that's really significant progress. Third. We have health where our state ranks 39th in the country. The data book reports that 6% of our Children are uninsured. That's *** pretty big jump from the last report where it was 11%. Covid was especially hard on Children's and teen's mental health. Our numbers went from about 11% of Children who are experiencing anxiety or depression to 13%. Finally, we have family and community where new Mexico ranks 48. The book reports that one in every five new mexican Children live in poverty driven area. There's many areas where we're making progress. We've more than doubled the tax credit that goes to low income working parents. We've expanded child care assistance to nearly every child in New Mexico. Now. It is important to know that this data is from 2016 through 2020. But Wallace says that new Mexico has improved in 10 of the 16 different data sets that the book measures. Angel Salcido k o *** T Action Seven News.
