2007 Kids Count Data Book (HTML)
By Annie E. Casey Foundation , Ed.
2007

Summary: This book presents statistical data and trends to illuminate the status of America’s children and to assess trends in their well-being for 2007. By updating the assessment every year, KIDS COUNT provides ongoing benchmarks that can be used to see how States have advanced or regressed since 1990. The 10 benchmarks include: (1) percent low-birthweight babies; (2) infant mortality rate; (3) child death rate; (4) teen death rate; (5) teen birth rate; (6) percent of teens who are high school dropouts; (7) percent of teens not attending school and not working; (8) percent of children living in families where no parent has full-time, year-round employment; (9) percent of children in poverty; and (10) percent of children in single-parent families. The book is divided into 3 sections: (1) “Essay,” (2) “Summary and Findings,” and (3) “Profiles.” Appendices include: (1) “Multi-Year State Trend Data for KIDS COUNT Key Indicators,” and (2) “Multi-Year State Trend Data for Overall Ranks.” Definitions and data sources, criteria for selecting KIDS COUNT indicators, and the primary contacts for State KIDS COUNT projects are included.
