This Kids Count fact book details statewide trends in the well-being of North Dakota's children. The statistical portrait is based on indicators of children's well-being in seven areas: (1) population; (2) family composition; (3) economic condition; (4) child health; (5) education; (6) child safety; and (7) teens at risk. The fact book begins with an overview of the organization of data, data information, criteria for data selection, changes in data presentation, data limitations, the message behind the numbers, categories and indicators of child well-being, and regional maps. Following the introductory sections, statistical findings are presented for the state, including multi-year trend data, as available. Regional data for eight geographical regions of the state are then presented, including multi-year trend data as available, and comparative data between the region and the state. The bulk of the report presents profiles for each of the state's 53 counties, including multi-year trend data as available, and comparative data between the county and the state. Important findings indicate that the well-being of North Dakota's children declined in 15 out of 20 indicators for which updated information is provided each year. The report's two appendices address definitions and data sources, and state goals by well-being indicators. (SD)
