Child poverty is falling.

That’s encouraging news. 💙 The latest Census data shows the national official child poverty rate reached a historic low of 13.4% in 2025. But behind every number is a child whose future is shaped by the opportunities and stability their family has. Parents need meaningful work. Families need growing income. Children need stable homes. Communities need strong connections. Because helping children thrive starts with helping families flourish. At Georgia Center for Opportunity, we believe lasting progress means more than reducing a statistic. It means building the conditions that help families find stability, pursue opportunity, and create a stronger future for the next generation. Strong families. Meaningful work. Greater opportunity. 💙 Progress is worth celebrating. And there’s more work to do. #GeorgiaCenterForOpportunity #GCO #ChildPoverty #StrongerFamilies #EconomicMobility #FamilyFlourishing #OpportunityForAll #Georgia
