There was more cross-state variation for some indicators than for others. For children of all income levels, participation in extracurricular activities, school engagement, and behavioral and emotional problems varied within a relatively narrow range. In contrast, frequency of parental storytelling and attendance at religious services, children living in poverty, and children with poor or fair health were at least three times higher in the highest state than in the lowest state. For children in low-income families, participation in extracurricular activities and parental volunteering varied within a relatively narrow range, while frequency of attendance at religious services, skipping school, and children with fair or poor health were at least three times higher in the highest state than in the lowest state. Consistency in state rankings across the indicators was limited. For children of all income levels, three states (Massachusetts, Michigan, and Minnesota) ranked in the top five on at least 7 of 15 indicators, while two states (Alabama and Mississippi) ranked in the bottom five on at least 7 indicators. For children in low-income families, rankings were somewhat more consistent: six states (California, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, and Wisconsin) ranked in the top five on at least 7 of 14 indicators,2 while two states (Alabama and New York) ranked in the bottom five on at least 7 indicators.
