KIDS COUNT

What is KIDS COUNT?

KIDS COUNT is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States. KIDS COUNT exists to measure child outcomes and contribute to public accountability for those outcomes, resulting in a model for data-driven advocacy for children, their families, and their communities.

A project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, this initiative provides policymakers and citizens with national and comparable benchmarks of child well-being. By providing these indicators, KIDS COUNT seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions of ways to secure better futures for all children. It is intended to gauge the seriousness of the problems facing children and guide the policy trends and goals on behalf of children.
