Our purpose in the study is to evaluate cities on how they are serving the well-being of children.  The overall message that can be gained from the study is that tackling population growth-related problems-from sprawl to teen pregnancy-will help to guarantee a bright and prosperous future for children all over America.  Therefore, it can be used to raise the questions in your own community about your own quality factors.  What can be done locally?  How can we improve our community?

I am proud that ZPG has produced such a wonderful resource, and hope that you will take a moment to review our findings.  Then, let's take some action on improving these results!

I'm being a schlep and haven't set-up a visit.  I was hoping to do it when
I get my home worked-on since getting away from work is so difficult.

I'll keep you updated.
