Notes

This data is an unduplicated count, meaning a child is only counted once even if he/she were involved in multiple reports to DCBS throughout the year. Due to a change in the source's data collection system, it is recommended that users compare a given geographies' data starting with CY 2014 to subsequent years, but refrain from comparing the referenced time period and beyond to prior years. Data reflect county of case manager location.

S= number is suppressed for fewer than 6 children.
