Ohio ranks 29th in child well-being; inaccessible, unaffordable child care pushing parents to the breaking point

When it comes to ensuring that all children have what they need to thrive, Ohio falls short, ranking 29th in overall child well-being. The 2023 KIDS COUNT® Data Book, a 50-state report of recent household data developed by the Annie E. Casey foundation found even that 276,000 children are living in high-poverty areas, which leaves Ohio ranked as 38th in this metric alone.
