EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The State of Kansas

• In 2010, 18.1% of Kansas children were living in poverty. This represents a 53.4% increase in the percent of children living in poverty compared to 1970.

• In 2010, 47.4% of Kansas children were enrolled in free and reduced school lunch programs.

• In 2010, 37.7% of all births in Kansas were to unmarried parents, compared to 12.2% of all births in 1980. This represents a 209% increase in the percent of Kansas babies born to unmarried parents.

• Since 2000, there has been a 150% increase in the percent of the population enrolled in the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and since 2001 a 37% increase in the percent of the population enrolled in Medicaid.

• As they have nationwide, divorce rates in Kansas have decreased from their peak in the early 1980s, but have leveled off and have remained steady since the mid-1990s.

• Several indicators have evidenced significant decreases, including a 53% decrease in the high school dropout rate since 1995, a 64% decrease in the infant mortality rate since 1970, a 32% decrease in the teen pregnancy rate since 1996, a 36.5% decrease in the percent of youth binge drinking since 2000, and a 53% decrease in teen tobacco use since 1998.

Kansas Counties • Based on the composite index scores, which take into account each county’s data across

18 indicators of child and family wellbeing, the Top Ten Kansas counties are: 1) Greeley, 2) Johnson, 3) Trego, 4) Sheridan, 5) Washington, 6) Wallace, 7) Nemaha, 8) Wabaunsee, 9) Lane, and 10) Pottawatomie.

• A high overall ranking does not mean that a given county ranks highly on each individual indicator. Therefore, each county has specific areas that they could target to improve child and family wellbeing.

INTRODUCTION

The health and wellbeing of children and families is vital for a healthy state and nation. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of state-level trends and a county by county comparison on a number of indicators of child and family wellbeing. This information could aid government officials, policymakers, community leaders, faith organizations, helping professionals, and Kansas citizens understand the state of child and family wellbeing in their local area and assist in helping local communities target specific areas for improving the health of children and families.

Eighteen indicators of child and family wellbeing are included in both the state trend data as well as the county rankings. The eighteen indicators are: child poverty, child care assistance enrollment, divorce, enrollment in free and reduced lunch programs, high school dropouts, infant mortality, lack of maternal education, low birth weight babies, Medicaid enrollment, parental unemployment, out of wedlock births, SNAP enrollment, TANF enrollment, teen pregnancy, uninsured children, youth binge drinking, and youth tobacco use.

Why rank Kansas counties? The ranking system provides an overall picture of the status of each county on these eighteen indicators compared to all other counties in the state of Kansas. This information could be useful to counties when developing policies, programs, and initiatives in order to strengthen children and families in their region.

METHOD

A composite index was developed to compare counties on multiple indicators of child and family wellbeing. *All data are from 2010. Composite index takes all indicators and pools them together giving each county one score that can be compared across counties. First, a standardized (Z)-score was computed for each indicator for each county. To calculate the z-scores, the mean and standard deviation of the measured values for each indicator were gathered across all 105 counties. Lower z-scores represent more desired outcomes. For example, the higher the child poverty rate the higher that county’s z-score for that indicator. Second, each county’s z-scores across the 18 indicators were averaged to obtain a single z-score for each county. Finally, each county was ranked based on this final, averaged z-score.

*Values for “lack of maternal education” in 2010 were not available, so values in 2009 were used for the 2010 composite index. For indicators including “youth tobacco use,” “youth binge drinking,” and “high school dropout” some counties did not report data for 2010. We used the most recent year data were reported for each county with missing values for 2010 and these values were computed as part of the composite index.

In 2010, roughly 131,000 or 18.1% of Kansas children lived in poverty. This represents a 53% increase in

the percent of children living in poverty compared to 1970, when 11.8% of Kansas children were living in

poverty.

County level data were obtained from 1970 to 2010. In 2010, county poverty rates ranged from a low of

7.7% (Johnson) to a high of 34.7% (Wyandotte). See Appendix B1, p. 32. In 2010, the top ten counties with the

lowest percent of children living in poverty were Johnson (7.7%), Pottawatomie (11.6%), McPherson (11.9%),

Miami (11.9%), Butler (12%), Thomas (12.3%), Jefferson (12.5%), Nemaha (12.6%), Coffey (12.7%), and Gray

(12.7%). The average percent of children living in poverty for the top ten counties in 2010 was 11.8%, an 87%

increase from the top ten county average of 6.3% in 1970.

In 2010, 10,579 divorces and annulments were granted in the state of Kansas, with a state rate of 3.7 per 1,000 people. In 1970, there were 8,785 marital dissolutions (a rate of 3.9 per 1,000 people). This indicates a 5.1% decrease in the state divorce rate between 1970 and 2010. The current rate is down from a high in 1980 of 13,410 divorces and annulments, a rate of 5.7 divorces per 1,000 people; the highest rate reported in our sample. The divorce rate has remained relatively stable since 2000, with the lowest rate occurring in 2005 at 3.1 divorces per 1,000 people. County level data were obtained from 1970 to 2010. In 2010, county divorce rates ranged from a low of 0.4 (Rawlins) to a high of 14.4 (Coffey) per 1,000 people. See Appendix B3, p. 34 for individual county rates. In 2010, the top ten counties with the lowest divorce rates were Rawlins (0.4), Clark (1.4), Hamilton (1.5), Stafford (1.6), Comanche (1.6), Brown (1.6), Greeley (1.6), Wyandotte (1.7), Washington (1.7), and Chase (1.8). The average rate of divorce for the top ten counties in 2010 was 1.5 per 1,000 people, a 114% increase from the top ten county average of 0.7 in 1970. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (2010), the 25-29 year old age group experienced the largest number of divorces in 2010.

In 2010, the percent of children enrolled in free and reduced school lunch programs in the state of Kansas was 47.4%, up from 37.5% in 2003. This is a 26% increase in enrollment in the free and reduced school lunch program from 2003 to 2010.

County data were gathered from 2003 through 2010. In 2010, the percent of children enrolled in the free

and reduced school lunch program by county ranged from a low of 23.0% (Johnson) to a high of 77.7% (Wyandotte). See Appendix B4, p. 35 for individual county percentages. In 2010, the top 10 counties with the lowest percent enrollment in the free and reduced school lunch program were Johnson (23.0%), Kiowa (28.2%), Nemaha (28.2%), Sheridan (29.4%), Butler (29.8%), Leavenworth (31.4%), Douglas (32.4%), Trego (32.7%), Gove (35.1%), and Marion (35.2%). The average percent enrollment in the free and reduced school lunch programs for the top ten counties in 2011 was 30.5%, a 33.7% increase from the top ten county average of 22.9% in 2003.

Since 1970, the infant mortality rate in the state of Kansas has declined 64%. The state rate has fallen

from 17.7 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 1970 to 6.3 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 2010, the lowest

rate of infant mortality in Kansas for the years 1970 to 2010. There were a total of 253 infant deaths in the state

of Kansas in 2010.

Individual county rates are reported in Appendix B6, p. 37. In 1970, the average rate of infant death for

the ten counties with the highest infant mortality rate was 47.7 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. In 2010, the

average rate of the highest ten counties was 29.5 infant deaths per 1,000 births, a 38% decrease in infant deaths

among the bottom ten counties. In 2010, rates ranged from 0.0 to 43.5 infant deaths per 1,000 live births.

In 2009, the most recent available year with county level data, 17.6% of new mothers had not earned a

high school diploma at the time of their child’s birth (as indicated on the child’s birth certificate). That is up

slightly from 17.0% in 1990.

County level data were obtained from 1990 to 2009. In 2009, the percent of new mothers who had not

earned a high school diploma at the time of their child’s birth ranged from a low of 0.0% (Wallace and Chase) to

a high of 50.3% (Seward). See Appendix B7, p. 38 for individual county rates. In 2009, the top ten counties with

the lowest rates were Wallace (0.0%), Chase (0.0%), Rush (3.2%), Jewell (3.9%), Ellsworth (4.0%), Norton

(4.9%), Ness (5.7%), Nemaha (5.7%), Wabaunsee (6.0%), and Coffey (6.1%). The average percent of new

mothers who had not earned a high school diploma at the time of their child’s birth for the top ten counties in

2009 was 4.0%, a 20% decrease from the top ten counties average of 5.0% in 1990.

Since 1990, the percent of low birth weight babies has been increasing. In 2010, there were 2,867 low

birth weight babies born in Kansas, or 7.1% of all births. This is a 14.5% increase in the number of low birth

weight babies compared to 1990. County level data were obtained from 1990 to 2010. In 2010, level of low

birth weight babies among counties ranged from a low of 0.0% (Greeley, Jewell, Ness, Sheridan, and Trego) to

a high of 17.4% (Rawlins). See Appendix B8, p. 39 for individual county rates.
