Abstract	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. Information and data vary by specific indicator but can include: comparative data going back as far as the mid-1960s, county information and comparisons, and state versus national comparisons. Specific indicators detailed are: (1) child populations; (2) unemployment; (3) poverty rates; (4) average income; (5) single parent households; (6) divorce rates; (7) school lunch and breakfast participation rates; (8) WIC caseloads; (9) summer food program participation rates; (10) infant mortality; (11) low birth weight rates; (12) immunization rates; (13) births to unmarried teens; (14) children killed or injured in car accidents; (15) child death rates; (16) teen death rates; (17) juvenile arrests; (18) youth held in jails and detention facilities; (19) delinquency; (20) juvenile cases filed in adult courts; (21) child abuse and neglect; (22) children in foster care; (23) adoption; (24) per pupil spending; (25) public school, private school, and home school enrollment; (26) Head Start enrollment; (27) Pre-K programs; (28) pupil-teacher ratios; and (29) corporal punishment.
