Updated 50-State Data on Children Available

The Annie E. Casey Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization focused on public policy concerning children and families, has updated the data in its Kids Count Data Center. The data covers all 50 states and encompasses demographics on education; economic well-being; family and community health; safety and risky behaviors; and other information.

Visitor to the foundation’s website can find data showing, for example, that (1) children in Connecticut have, consistently since 2001, lived in families with greater food security than the national average and (2) the number of children in Connecticut living without health insurance is at the lowest it has been since 1991.
