2000 KIDS COUNT

KIDS COUNT in Colorado! is an annual publication of the Children’s Campaign, providing state- and county-level data on child well-being factors including child health, education, and economic status. The publication is relied upon by lawmakers, community leaders, and child advocates to inform policy debates and community discussions on issues impacting kids.

The 2000 KIDS COUNT in Colorado! report contains state- and county-level demographic, economic, health, education, and safety data. To offer a more comprehensive look at how children and youth are faring across the state, county indicators have been added in the areas of health insurance, children with disabilities, child care, and youth incarceration. Featured in this report is a special section on education , which presents information on Colorado’s 176 school districts including student achievement, school enrollment, and ethnicity of students.
