I think it’s a combination of amount of rural area as well as reporting. Maine is good at reporting and has a large amount of poor rural area. I feel like child abuse might be more common in rural areas because people are not so close to each other to notice. It also is more common with lower income house holds as food is more scarce and there may be other issues like drugs or alcoholism. There are not many states that have more liberal/reporting systems but also so much rural with lower income area!
