KIDS COUNT Data Center


The KIDS COUNT Data Center, located on the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s web site, provides online access to data on hundreds of measures of child well-being. The Annie E. Casey Foundation provides data at the national and state levels. Mississippi KIDS COUNT provides data at the county and school district levels.

The KIDS COUNT Data Center web site allows you to do the following:

  • View raw data and rank states, counties, school districts, and other geographic areas on key child well-being indicators.
  • Generate maps and line graphs that can be used in presentations, reports, or even your own website.
Note: Permission to copy, reprint, or otherwise distribute KIDS COUNT data is granted as long as appropriate acknowledgement is given. When citing data from the website, please use: The Annie E. Casey Foundation, KIDS COUNT Data Center, www.kidscount.org/datacenter.
