Update #27

Revised

Kids Count Overall Rank - error corrected

5/10/2007

Data for the Kids Count Overall Rank indicator have been replaced for years 2000 through 2003. The Overall Ranks that were previously posted for those years did not reflect changes that have been made to the 10 Kids Count indicators in 2004. Updating the Overall Ranks for 2000 through 2003 to reflect changes made to the indicators enable year-to-year comparisons of state ranks.

There are currently ten KIDS COUNT measures: percent low birth-weight babies; infant mortality rate; child death rate; rate of teen deaths by accident, homicide, and suicide; teen birth rate; percent of children living with parents who do not have full-time, year-round employment; percent of teens who are high school dropouts; percent of teens not attending school and not working; percent of children in poverty; and percent of families with children headed by a single-parent. The Data Book also provides background information for each state, including demographic and family income data.
