Oklahoma has been named the 10th worst state in the nation for underprivileged children by WalletHub, a company that services the insurance industry.

The state ranks 35 in the percentage of children in households with below-poverty income. In addition, the state ranks:

43rd in percentage of mistreated children

36th in food insecurity rate

44th in percentage of children without health insurance

49th in infant mortality rate

51st (last place) in percentage of children in foster care

31st in percentage of children in single-parent families

33rd in ratio of children in rented homes compared to those in owned homes.

Nationally, the United States, despite being the wealthiest nation in the world, has the ninth-highest rate of child poverty in first-world countries. Nearly one out of every five children in the United States lives in a family with income below the poverty line.

According to the survey, New Hampshire is the best state for children to live, the District of Columbia is the worst, or if you only count legal states, Mississippi is the worst.
