Maps
of Child Well-Being in Georgia
The
Georgia 2006 KIDS COUNT Data Book
provides a demographic profile of Georgia's children, accompanied
by maps and graphs that show racial and ethnic disparities among
children for specific indicators of well-being. Maps
are color-coded and provide a picture of our children living in
different geographic regions statewide, ranked by an indicator.

to Mothers with Less than a High School Education
The educational status of mothers is a key factor in shaping healthy
outcomes for children. More than one in five babies in Georgia have
been born to mothers with less than 12 years of education.

Children
from Low-Income Families Enrolled in the
Georgia Pre-K Program
Early
learning and Pre-K programs narrows the gaps between disadvantaged
and other children in vocabulary, writing, math, and social
skills. Children who are from low-income families, or who are
born to mothers with less than a high school education are more
likely to enter school lagging behind their peers. |
