KIDS COUNT DATA CENTER


County- and school district-level data for Kentucky is accessible online through the KIDS COUNT Data Center. The Data Center brings together hundreds of indicators of child well-being collected by KIDS COUNT grantees from state and local sources with data collected by the Annie E. Casey Foundation from national sources.  The KIDS COUNT Data Center allows users to generate:

  • Profiles – Create a custom report of multiple data points for a specific geographic area.
  • Graphs  – Create line graphs to see how data has changed over time, and create bar graphs to illustrate differences across geographies.
  • Maps – View color-coded interactive maps of the data.
  • Rankings – Compare states, counties, or school districts to each other and find out who is doing the best on an indicator.
  • Raw Data – Download data in spreadsheet format.

Want a quick lesson on how to use the Data Center? For tips and tricks to help you find the information you need on the Data Center, check out this guide or watch the video below.

Note: The data reflected on the KIDS COUNT Data Center is continually updated and will reflect more recent data than the annual County Data Book, if available.

National 2023 KIDS COUNT Data Book Shows Kentucky Ranks 40th in Child Well-Being While Inaccessible, Unaffordable Child Care Deeply Impacts Families and Economy

June 14, 2023 – Kentucky ranks 40th in the nation in overall child well-being, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2023 national KIDS COUNT Data Book co-released by Kentucky Youth Advocates. The national Data Book provides state level data and rankings, including a mix of pre-pandemic and more recent figures that are the latest available. The report also explores how the lack of affordable and accessible child care short-changes children and causes parents to frequently miss work or even quit their jobs, while those who can find care are paying dearly for it.

In addition to ranking 40th in overall child well-being, Kentucky ranks 41st in economic well-being, 29th in education, 40th in health, and 42nd in the family and community domains.
