Kids Count Data Center

KIDS COUNT Data Center is part of the Annie E. Casey Foundation and serves to provide information on the status of children in America. The ten core indicators of interest under "Data by State" are: percent of low birth weight babies, infant mortality rate, child death rate, rate of teen deaths by accident, suicide and homicide, teen birth rate, percent of children living with parents who do not have full-time year-round employment, percent of teens who are high school drop outs, percent of teens not working and not in school, percent of children in poverty, and percent of families with children headed by a single parent.

A number of other indicators, plus demographic and income information, are also included. "Data across States" is grouped into the following broad categories: demographics, education, economic well-being, family and community, health, safety and risk behaviors, and other. User Functionality Users can determine the view of the data- by table, line graph or map and can print or email the results. Data is available by state and across states.

Data Across States allows users to access the raw data. Data is often present over a number of years. For a number of indicators under "Data Across States," users can view results by age, gender/ sex, or race/ ethnicity.
