- ➤ An annual Kids Count report shows that Utah ranked 4th in child well-being with progress in reducing poverty and engaging youth, even though a quarter of children lived in homes where more than 30% of income went to housing and fewer fourth-graders met reading proficiency. The report noted that reading and math skills and affordable housing need more attention by state leaders — key issues for our future. Deseret News
