KIDS COUNT: The State of the Child in Tennessee is an annual data book that tracks the status of children by analyzing state level statistical indicators of child well-being using social, educational, economic, and health data.

The Tennessee KIDS COUNT Project is part of a national network of state KIDS COUNT projects that provide detailed county-by-county data on the condition of children. Funded in part by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Tennessee KIDS COUNT: The State of the Child in Tennessee provides the best available data on over 70 indicators of well-being.

Tennessee's program also cooperates with other state departments, universities, and other organizations to collect information used in the book.

At the national level, KIDS COUNT, a project of the Annie E. Casey foundation, is a state-by-state effort to track the status of children across the states. By providing policymakers and citizens with benchmarks of child well-being, KIDS COUNT seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure better futures for all children.
