The well-being of Texas children is essential to the future of our state. Recent years have presented significant challenges for Texas' youngest residents, particularly in areas of economic stability, health, and education. According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Texas declined from 43rd to 45th in national rankings for overall child well-being between 2018 and 2022, highlighting the need for focused efforts to improve these outcomes. This report offers a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of child well-being across Texas. By examining key indicators, we identify areas where targeted investments can create measurable improvements, ensuring that all Texas children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
