| Abstract: | After 21 years, Advocates for Children of New Jersey (ACNJ) has published the second Camden Kids Count Data Book, a one-stop source for child well-being data. Camden Kids Count includes the latest statistics, along with five- or six-year trend data, in the following areas: demographics, family economic security, child health, child protection, child care, education, and teens. ACNJ compares Camden City data to Camden County and New Jersey statewide data where available. Policymakers, including elected officials and government agencies, use the data to make informed decisions. Service providers use the data to improve their response to emerging child-related issues in their communities or cities. Grant writers use the data to write proposals and solicit support for programs that help children and families. Concerned residents become better, more informed advocates using the data to identify and address problems facing children and families in their communities.
