Want to lower the crime rate and increase upward mobility? Encourage people to have 2 parent families...

For example, the strongest correlation is the number of intact families. The explanation seems obvious: A second parent usually means higher family income as well as more stability, a broader social network, additional emotional support, and many other intangibles.

I consider this, when I think of what politicians, with what policies to support.

It's actually one of the prime indicators of poverty, single household families. The second indicator (or at least it was when I read about this years ago) was number of children.

All of it makes sense based on resources one can accumulate and the sharing (or no need to share) within the "pack".
