KIDS COUNT is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the U.S. This site, supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, focuses on an interactive presentation of data from the 2005 KIDS COUNT Data Book, released July 27. The 16th annual data book reports that national trends in child well-being are no longer improving in the rapid and sustained way they did in the late 1990s. Among the negative trends: the number of children who live with parents facing persistent unemployment grew to 4 million, an increase of more than 1 million since 2000. At this site, you can order a free paper copy of the data book and search a state-by-state database -- including a variety of education indicators -- online.
