The first part of the factbook presents introductory materials and a summary of the report. The major portion of the factbook presents state and county data tables for each indicator. Among the findings are the following: the percent of children living with underemployed parents is one of the lowest in the country; teen birth rate is 50% below the national rate; infant mortality rate has declined; and the child death rate is among the highest in the nation. The factbook concludes with a section listing data resources, Web sites of interest, information on performing data calculations, and interpretation instructions. (SD)
