* National estimates are calculated from the totals for qualified reporting states (states which reported less than ten percent of counts in an "unknown or not reported" category). As these totals are based on differing groups of states for each year, they should NOT be compared across years. For comparisons across years, use the trend national estimates.
AFCARS category percentages are based on data elements 21 (Latest removal from home), 41 (Current placement) and 56 (Foster care discharge date). VCIS category "Emergency Shelter" had no corresponding AFCARS category. Therefore, that column value is labeled as not applicable (N/A).
