Notes
* Indicators included in this index are the percent of families headed by single mothers; the child poverty rate; the percent of births to teenage mothers; the percent of low birth weight babies; and the infant mortality rate.
* Data for MSAs are listed excluding the central city. Where two or more cities are shown together, they belong to the same Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). In these cases, the city data were combined to create a single urban entity.
* Due to naming conventions and other reasons, MSA names may have changed over time.
* Due to Land Annexation and other reasons, MSA size may have changed over time.
