Every year, the Annie E. Casey Foundation releases its KIDS COUNT Data Book ranking states on 16 key measures of child well-being. This year, Illinois placed 22nd in the nation for overall child well-being, ahead of neighboring Midwestern states like Indiana and Missouri, but far behind top-five states Minnesota and Iowa.

Additionally, this year’s KIDS COUNT Data Book features information on the importance of the upcoming 2020 Decennial Census and its implications for children. Alarmingly, more than 150,000 Illinois children under the age of 5 live in “hard-to-count” census tracts, and are therefore at risk of potentially being “missed” in census counts.

On September 26th, the Quad Cities Open Network will host a briefing on the 2018 KIDS COUNT Data Book, and invites those interested in learning about national and local trends in child wellness to attend. Voices for Illinois Children and the Child & Family Policy Center, the organizations that lead the Illinois and Iowa KIDS COUNT project as part of a national and state-by-state effort funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, will share more details about the findings in this year’s report and how they impact the Quad Cities region.

This event is free and registration is required. Those who work to support children and families through non-profits, state agencies, public and private preschool-12 education, philanthropy, and more are encouraged to attend.

The briefing will be held at The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center at 630 9th Street in Rock Island.
