According to the report, New Mexico received low scores in several important categories. The state ranked 49th in family fun, 48th in health and safety, 42nd in education and childcare, 49th in affordability, and 47th in socioeconomics. These poor rankings indicate that New Mexico may not be the ideal place for families to thrive.
