The
Annie E. Casey Foundation has released the 18th annual KIDS COUNT
Data
Book which provides information
and statistical trends on the conditions of America’s children
and families. The 2007 report also looks at the 726,000 children
in the United States who spend time in foster care each year
and what can be done to build and strengthen the family relationships
that these children need.
The complete 2007 KIDS COUNT Data Book is
available at http://www.kidscount.org/sld/databook.jsp. A State
Level Data Online system allows viewers to generate
custom graphs, maps, ranked lists, and state-by-state profiles;
or, download the entire data set of pdf files.
