23.2% of residents are children, and both studies put the cost at about $21,300–21,800, so the share covers about 2.5 days in each.

At $21,798, Louisiana is within a few dollars of Arkansas but still comes out slightly higher in the day-equivalent calculation.

The two studies almost meet: $21,303 after credits, $21,798 on SmartAsset, about 2.5 days either way.

Covers 2.60 days of costs, reaching a child population share of 23.4% that exceeds the national average.

Affordable housing offsets rising insurance premiums, keeping the share's purchasing power at roughly 2.4 days.

SmartAsset has it 48th, but LendingTree puts it in the middle (39th cheapest).

At about 2.57 days, Kentucky edges South Dakota despite appearing near the bottom of SmartAsset’s cost table.

Yields 2.52 days of support where both major studies agree annual child expenses remain below $21,200.

The Bluegrass State's lower housing costs mean a single share stretches to 2.57 days of raising a young child.

Two studies, almost the same answer: 2.50 days and 2.62 days of a year.

At roughly 2.50 days, Georgia combines low SmartAsset cost with a much larger child population than the sparsely populated states below it.

The share covers 2.62 days here, in a state with 2.54 million children.

With 23.8% of its residents under 18, a single share covers 2.50 days of the Peach State's child-rearing costs.

The biggest gap between the studies in the top ten: 37th on SmartAsset and 48th cheapest on LendingTree.

Fourth-cheapest once tax credits are counted, at $18,910, and SmartAsset does not put it in its cheapest ten.

Purchases 2.49 days of young child expenses, reflecting modest childcare costs offset by rapidly growing suburban housing.

SmartAsset's costs fell 14% in a year (from $25,840 to $22,173), which pulls Iowa into the top ten.

A share covers about 2.40 days, but Iowa’s SmartAsset estimate fell 14.19% year over year—one of the study’s sharpest declines.

One of the few early-years bills that fell: LendingTree's $21,137 is down 3.1% from its prior report.

With 24.5% under 18, the highest share among large states, a share covers 2.4 to 2.5 days.

7.54 million children, a quarter of the state, and one share still covers 2.54 days of the early years.
