Data

Research and data is one of NC Child’s core strategies to support kids and families. We provide advocates and decision-makers with reliable data to better understand child well-being. 

County Data Cards

NC Child’s county data cards provide local snapshots of child well-being by county. They also compare county data to children in the state as a whole. Along with the print-friendly county data cards, we also release an interactive County Data Dashboard, allowing you to dive more deeply into the data for each county.

County data cards present the latest data for key indicators in five areas of children’s well-being: A Strong Start, Family Economic Security, Nurturing Homes and Communities, Health and Wellness, and High-Quality Education.

KIDS COUNT Data Center

The KIDS COUNT Data Center is an easy-to-use, powerful, online database that allows anyone to generate custom reports. You can find reports for one geographic area (Profiles), or compare different geographic areas across a specific topic (Ranking, Maps, or Line Graphs).

The database includes information on education, employment and income, health, access to health insurance, population, family characteristics, poverty, and youth risk factors.
