LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A new study ranks Nevada third in the country among states with the most at-risk youth.

Only Louisiana and Mississippi had worse results, as researchers looked at 15 different factors and also found Nevada tied for fourth in the percentage of disconnected young people.

Nevada tied Arizona for third when it comes to youth without a diploma and tied for first for the most homeless young people, according to WalletHub.
