The 2017 Kids Count Data Book tracks trends in child well-being using an index of key indicators.The report includes easy-to-read charts and maps that show the status of child well-being at the state and national levels. The Data Book captures trends on children's: (1) Economic Well-Being, (2) Education, (3) Health and (4) Family and Community.
The Data Book shows that the child poverty rate continued to drop in 2015 to 22 percent. It also shows that more high school students are graduating on time and there is a significant increase in the number of kids with health insurance. However, the data indicates that there are still unacceptable levels of young children not in school as well as a troubling number of children living in high-poverty neighborhoods. Annie E.
