Child Poverty Rate Rising in Rhode Island
by Bob Seay
WRNI (April 3, 2006)
The poverty rate among children in Rhode Island is rising. Three quarters of the children living poverty live in one of six communities: Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls, Woonsocket, West Warwick, or Newport . Despite rising poverty, statistics show the vast majority of children are healthy and receive preventative care. Those are among the conclusions in the 12th annual Rhode Island Kids Count Fact Book.

Click the listen link to hear WRNI's Bob Seay talking about the status of children in this state with Rhode Island Kids Count Director Elizabeth Burke-Bryant.
