2007 Legislative Briefing Book

New Mexico's population has a high percentage of children, but not all of them are growing up with the resources they need to be healthy and fulfill their potential. As a whole, New Mexico ranks 48th in child poverty* - only Louisiana and Mississippi do worse. For a variety of reasons, some legislative districts do better than others.

In the pages below, we've highlighted some of the indicators of child well-being in New Mexico as a whole and in each of the legislative districts. See how your legislative district is doing.
