The 2015 KIDS COUNT Data Book

This dataset from the Annie E. Casey Foundation is part of an annual series that assesses child well-being across the United States. It uses an index of 16 indicators to rank states on overall child well-being, economic well-being, education, health, family, and community. In the midst of the country’s economic recovery, in 2015, more families are struggling with economic instability and more children are living in high-poverty neighborhoods. The report and data also review the impact of parents’ education and health on their children’s outcomes.
