Notes
Data are reported according to the location of court of entry into foster care.
Note that the parish location data was missing for a small number of children each year, and a very small (<5) number of children in foster care have cases that originated in other states. As a result, the statewide total is larger than the sum of data from all parishes.
Data are unduplicated, so if a child entered and exited foster care multiple times over the course of the year, he/she would only be counted once.
LNE - "low number event" reflects a number or rate based on at least one but fewer than five events.
N.A. - Data not available.
