2007 KIDS COUNT DATA BOOK

Rankings
Massachusetts ranks 5th overall among all states in this year’s Data Book. Massachusetts improved in four out of ten measures that reflect child well-being, experienced setbacks in three indicators, and saw no change in three since 2000.

 

Kids Count, a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation,
is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States. By providing policymakers and citizens with benchmarks of child well-being, Kids Count seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure better futures for all children.

Massachusetts Kids Count publishes reports of data measuring the educational, social, economic, and physical well-being of children. We also conduct public opinion polls to measure the awareness and concern of our state's citizens regarding children's well-being.
