This WisKids Count data book provides a statistical portrait of the well-being of Wisconsin's children. In addition to demographic data indicating changing communities, the indicators and data are organized into five overarching goals: (1) Healthy Families and Children Thrive, including births to single women, infant deaths, and health care coverage; (2) Families Can Meet Their Needs, including family income, housing affordability, children in kinship care, and AFDC and food stamp recipients; (3) Children Are Safe, including births to teen mothers, child abuse and neglect reports, and domestic violence incidents; (4) Youth Make Good Choices, including high school graduation, students taking the ACT exam, juvenile arrests, and children placed in out of home care; and (5) Children Are Ready for School, including children meeting immunization requirements, Head Start enrollment, and children participating in the Birth to Three program. The bulk of the report then presents data by county for each of the indicators under each goal. Data are provided for the years 1991, 1995, 2000, and 2001/2002 to indicate trends. The remainder of the data book provides city comparisons for years 1990 and 2000. Indicator sources and explanations conclude the data book. (HTH)
