Online KIDS COUNT Databases
The Annie E. Casey Foundation has an extensive KIDS COUNT website where you can link to a variety of online KIDS COUNT databases and learn about the national network of state KIDS COUNT projects. The KIDS COUNT Data Center provides access to hundreds of measures of child well-being.
Each state KIDS COUNT grantee provides community level information in the Data by States Database. Maine's site provides county-level data on a number of the indicators from the Maine KIDS COUNT data book as well as some additional indictors. These indicators can be displayed in a number of report formats, including:
- Profiles–detailed information about Maine or any Maine county,
- Graphs–indicators graphed over time for one or more Maine counties,
- Maps–color-coded maps of Maine counties for selected indicators,
- Rankings–all of the counties within Maine ranked according to an indicator, and
- Raw Data–delimited text files containing Maine CLIKS data for your own offline use.
The Data Across States Database, maintained by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, provides data on indicators of child well-being at the state-level. There are 98 indicators, including the 10 indicators regularly used in the national KIDS COUNT Data Book. Some of the other indicator categories include: education, employment and income, health, health insurance, poverty, population and family characteristics, and youth risk factors. These indicators can be displayed in number of report formats, including:
- Profiles–detailed information about states,
