North Dakota Kids Count

You are among the first to know about the release of the latest data on child well-being in North Dakota. We invite you to share this with others and mark it as a favorite!








The 2009 North Dakota KIDS COUNT Fact Book is now available online at: http://www.ndkidscount.org.





This is our 15th annual publication providing profiles of child well-being for North Dakota by the eight planning regions and all 53 counties.

There are multiple indicators measuring six components of child well-being:
Demographics - population, age, race and ethnicity, number of births
Family and Community - single parents, grandparents, working mothers, foster care
Economic Well-Being - poverty and income, public assistance
Education and Early Care - enrollment, expenditures, children with disabilities, achievement, dropouts, types of early care
Health - vital statistics, public assistance, health insurance
Safety and Risky Behaviors - child abuse and neglect, juvenile justice, idle teens
In addition to our website, current and historical Fact Book indicators are available on the Annie E. Casey Foundation's KIDS COUNT Data Center website:
http://datacenter.kidscount.org/.

Do you need trend data, graphics, maps or rankings for North Dakota counties and for other participating states? The KIDS COUNT Data Center is the place to go. The site also features a a"raw data" option that allows you to download indicators for further manipulation.

Mark this as a "favorite" and encourage others to access this information online.
