2012 Children Now Scorecard Ranks Child Health Indicators in California Counties

The 2012 California County Scorecard on the state of children’s health has been published for all 58 counties in California. Created by Children Now, a national organization focused on making children’s health a top priority for policymakers and the public, this report allows users to explore data by topics broken down by income level, living area, and race/ethnicity.

With 28 different key indicators ranging from “young children who read every day” to “asthmatic children who have been given an asthma management plan,” this report also lets users organize each indicator by each topic.

This scorecard is an important tool in assessing the needs of California’s children.
