2023 Kids Count Data Book

The 34th edition of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's KIDS COUNT® Data Book describes how the country’s lack of affordable and accessible child care negatively affects children, families, and U.S. businesses.

This year’s publication continues to present national and state data across four domains — economic well-being, education, health, and family and community — and ranks states in overall child well-being. The report includes pre-pandemic figures as well as more recent statistics and shares the latest information of its kind available.
