2001 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.

This 2001 edition of KIDS COUNT in Colorado! tracks data on child well-being in all of Colorado’s counties. We still have a long way to go toward making Colorado a great place for kids to grow up. While many measures have improved significantly, Colorado has actually worsened in others, including fatalities due to child abuse and low birth weight.
