Kids Count Data Book
The Annie E. Casey Foundation has released a report with data about children in the United States called the 2015 Kids Count Data Book. In addition to offering the raw data on the website, the report details trends in
- overall child well-being,
- economic well-being,
- education,
- health, and
- family and community.
State-by-state profiles examine the above trends, can be downloaded as pdfs, and list a single state’s rank among all the others, as the purple image to the right shows (the state in this case is Massachusetts). The conclusion to the report cites a “steady increase in children growing up in high-poverty neighborhoods”.
Social sciences researchers looking for data will find the customization tools on the site very useful for creating engaging data visualizations to share.
