KIDS COUNT© is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Voices for Utah Children that provides statistical data on the education, health and economic well-being of children and their families. Utilizing KIDS COUNT© data allows policymakers and community leaders to make data-driven decisions that will provide a better future for our state's youngest citizens.

Utah KIDS COUNT© Data Book

For 15 years it has been the priority of the Utah KIDS COUNT© Project to ensure that policymakers, advocates, community service providers, the media, and concerned citizens have quality data on how children are doing in our state. These yearly publications provide county level data on a variety of child well-being indicators.
