Read data with its limits in view
The 2025 KIDS COUNT Data Book notes that data can miss lived experience, undercount rural and Tribal areas, and carry larger margins of error for smaller groups. Source notes and data cautions belong beside the findings.
- Check the year and geography before comparing figures.
- Read notes about suppressed values and sample size.
- Use the report’s source list when a number will support a public decision.
