Why This Indicator Matters
Court-ordered goals define the permanency option for a child, and ideally should be with the focus of resulting in a family-based setting. Older youth who do not achieve family-based permanency are more likely to age out of the system without positive supportive connections and have poorer adult outcomes.

Notes
Statistics (rates, ratios, percents) are not calculated and displayed for counts less than 10 (or less than 3 for Bayesian/Nearest Neighbor rates). This is due to the unreliability of statistics based on small numbers of events.
