KIDSCOUNT DataBook Ranks California 20th

According to Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2009 KIDSCOUNT DataBook, California ranks 20th in terms of how children are faring. The annual DataBook profiles the well-being of America’s children on a state-by-state basis and ranks states on 10 key measures. Accompanying the DataBook, KIDSCOUNT released an essay on the importance of making data-driven decisions regarding children. View the DataBook profile for California.

Many of the indicators noted in the DataBook also are available on kidsdata.org for your community. These include infant mortality, child deaths, teen births and poverty, among others.

Children Now, KIDSCOUNT’s California partner, offers a state analysis of the Data Book on their site.
