2005 Kids Count Data Book (HTML)
By Annie E. Casey Foundation , Ed.
2005

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 2005. 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) rate of teen deaths by accident, homicide, and suicide; (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 households. The book is divided into 3 sections: (1) “Essay,” (2) “Summary and Findings,” and (3) “Profiles.” Appendices include: (1) “KIDS COUNT Standard Scores and Overall Ranks,” (2) “Multi-Year State Trend Data for KIDS COUNT Indicators,” and (3) “Multi-Year State Trend Data for Overall Ranks.” Criteria for selecting KIDS COUNT indicators and the primary contacts for State KIDS COUNT projects are included.
