Overview:
- Kidsdata.org offers more than 300 indicators on the health and well being of children in communities across California.
- The website, launched in 2004, is a project of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health.
- The website initially provided data for San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, along with statewide comparisons. In 2007, kidsdata.org expanded to include other counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and San Francisco.
- In fall 2009, kidsdata.org expanded to all counties, cities and school districts in California – about 1,600 regions. For more information about this expansion, visit http://www.kidsdata.org/statewide.
- Nearly all data on the site are from public sources, though some indicators come from a Lucile Packard Foundation survey of parents about their child’s well being. You can find information and links to the data sources in the notes below tables, maps, or graphs on indicator pages, or you can view a list of the data sources.
