November 2021 The State of Virginia’s Children: A Data Snapshot of Children, Youth, and Families

The State of Virginia’s Children report highlights some prominent issue areas affecting Virginia’s children, youth, and families. The goal of this report is to define and describe where we are and where we need to go with the most recent data available. Data is necessary for determining the future direction of policies in Virginia. The needs of Virginia’s children can be quite different based on their experiences and identities; this report reveals various disparities and trends that can be used to inform policy objectives that take into account every child, no matter their background. Included is a source guide defining indicators and going into additional detail for each topic. If you have any questions or concerns, contact info@vakids.org.
