What do the data say about child well-being in Missouri? The 2026 KIDS COUNT® Data Book from Annie E. Casey Foundation provides a trusted snapshot of how children and families are faring across four areas: economic well-being, education, health and family and community factors. This year’s enhanced index helps better illustrate how outcomes for kids are changing over time — giving communities and leaders better tools to understand the progress that has been made and identify where more action is needed. Explore the data: https://bit.ly/26DataBook-FB

Rankings show how states compare. Scores range from 0 (worst) to 1,000 (best) and reflect child well-being relative to a 2019 baseline; changes over time indicate progress or decline. Scores are not percentages or a finish line; higher scores indicate better outcomes.
