Colorado has one of nation's lowest shares of underprivileged children

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:31:21 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Colorado outperforms most states in terms of its children. Financial advisor WalletHub compared children's socio-economic welfare, health and education in 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Researchers used 26 metrics, ranging from the share of children in poverty or foster care, the share in single parent homes, infant mortality and food security rates and education rates. Each metric had its own weight, the totals of which were compiled into final scores. Alleged high-profile sexual predator arrested in Jeffco Colorado had a relatively low score, 38th out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia - in spite of a relatively poor showing for education. Colorado ranks as one of the best states for children's socio-economic welfare, with the 47th lowest score. This is partially a result of its family formation. Only Utah, Idaho and Wyoming have smaller shares of children in single-parent families, a metric that has a strong correlation to children's o...

HONOLULU (AP) — Wind-whipped wildfires raced through parts of Hawaii on Wednesday, destroying homes and businesses in a historic town on the island of Maui, injuring several people, forcing evacuations and leading some to flee to the relative safety of the ocean, where they were rescued by the Coast Guard.Fire was widespread in Lahaina Town, including on Front Street, a shopping and dining area that is popular with tourists, County of Maui spokesperson Mahina Martin said by phone early Wednesday. Traffic has been very heavy as people try to evacuate the area, and officials asked people who weren’t in an evacuation area to shelter in place to avoid adding to the traffic, she said. Photos posted by the county overnight showed a line of flames blazing across an intersection and leaping above buildings in the town center that dates to the 1700s and is on the National Register of Historic Places.“Do NOT go to Lahaina Town,” the county tweeted hours before all roads in and out of West Mau...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle left Wednesday’s joint practice against the Atlanta Falcons with an apparent injury.Waddle made a catch during drills and went down grabbing at the right side of his body. The Dolphins’ third-year receiver walked off the practice field under his own power after being down for about five minutes.Waddle had 75 receptions and 1,356 yards receiving last season — his second straight season surpassing 1,000 yards.“I think Waddle has probably had one of the best camps on our team this year,” quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said Wednesday. “It really started with OTAs. From the first day he came, he showed up, he was locked in. It’s kind of unfortunate to see something like that happen. I hope that it’s just a couple days. I hope he gets better.”It was Miami’s second joint practice against Atlanta ahead of Friday’s preseason game in Miami Gardens, Florida.Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel hasn...

The filing says the court “found probable cause to search the Twitter account for evidence of criminal offenses.”Smith has charged Trump, in an indictment unsealed last week, with conspiring to subvert the will of voters and cling to power after he lost the 2020 elect...
