The score was generated from statistics such as high school students graduating on time, children who live in a two-parent household and kids between ages 3 and 5 who are enrolled in a pre-kindergarten program.

Neighboring states Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan were also among the top five states with the largest well-being gaps between white and black children.

While Wisconsin is frequently ranked toward the top in The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s annual Kids Count report that measures overall well-being regardless of race or ethnicity — this year the Badger State was 12th — Taylor said that report “ends up masking the challenges we have with our kids of color.”

In the Race for Results report, Wisconsin ranked 7th out of 26 states at a score of 520 for American Indian children; 40th out of 43 states at 651 for Asian children; and 21st of 49 states at 439 for Latino children.

Only 24 percent of Wisconsin African-American children live in an economically stable condition, a household earning 200 percent or more than the federal poverty level, according to the report.

The same factor also applies to 30 percent of Latino children, 31 percent of Hmong children, 36 percent of American Indian children and 72 percent of white children in the state, the report said.
