KIDS COUNT Data Book
Data and information are compelling tools to find common ground across geography and political ideology and create an Arizona where every child is safe, healthy, and has access to quality education. Arizona families are facing a wide range of challenges, such as the high cost of essentials like child care and housing, which affect the well-being of children across the state. Arizona ranks 40th in child well-being according to the 2026 KIDS COUNT Data Book, released by The Annie E. Casey Foundation.
The Data Book, released annually, is a 50-state report of recent household data developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation that analyzes how children and families are faring. Each year, the Data Book presents national and state data from 16 indicators in four domains — economic well-being, education, health, and family and community factors — and ranks the states according to how children are faring overall.
