We like the premise which is life-affirming but the numbers don't match up for ANYBODY who has ever visited the more interesting enclaves of the Dotte . . . Check-it:
The biggest gap between Kansas and Missouri is the number of teenagers raised in two-parent households. Missouri has fewer teenagers living with both parents (62.7%) compared to those in Kansas (67.9%), and the number of married couples in Missouri is four percentage points less than in Kansas.
Lower scores for both variables tend to be a common trait of cities, which helps explain the large gap between the two states’ rankings as Missouri is home to large cities such as St. Louis and Kansas City.
The United States’ overall index score was 100 in 2000 but has been steadily declining since then. The country’s 2024 score is 87.3.
From 2000 to 2010, the percentage of married adults dropped by seven percentage points and from 2010 to 2024, the total fertility rate fell by 17%, and is still decreasing.
