Abstract	This KIDS COUNT report examines statewide trends in the well-being of New York's children. The statistical portrait is based on six general indicators of children's well-being: (1) economic well-being; (2) education; (3) health; (4) adolescent behavior; (5) child welfare; and (6) children's families. Indicator 1 focuses on poverty, neighborhood socioeconomic status, rent, and household income. Indicator 2 focuses on English proficiency, Pupil Evaluation Program (PEP) test scores, dropout rates, retention, and diploma issuance. Indicator 3 focuses on low birth weight babies, infant mortality, students with disabilities, injuries, causes of child death, and alcohol and drug use. Indicator 4 focuses on adolescent pregnancy, adolescent births, violent crimes, and adolescents not in school and not working. Indictor 5 focuses on out-of-home care, child abuse, and child neglect. Indicator 6 includes presence of parents, births to unmarried women, disrupted marriages, single-parent families, and child care. The report shows that one in four children lives in distressed neighborhoods; children at the bottom of the income distribution were poorer in 1989 than they were in 1979; dropout rates are substantially lower than they were a decade ago; the adolescent pregnancy rate has increased over the last decade; and arrest rates for violent crimes are twice as high as the national rates.
