  • Organizations find themselves asking similar questions when it comes to conducting a needs assessment: Where can I find reliable data? How do I know if it’s relevant to my community? Is the information up to date?

    Today, we address these questions by giving you an overview of one key data source: the Kids Count Data Book, which provides state and county-level indicators on child and family well-being.

    This resource is particularly valuable for organizations focusing on children, youth, and human services. We’ll walk through how this data can inform needs assessments and decision-making for programs and policies.

    And stay tuned—this is just the start. Upcoming conversations will highlight additional data sources to support our assessments and the impact of our work.
