CDF-NY County Profiles

Children’s Defense Fund–New York’s County Data Profiles offer comprehensive insights into child well-being indicators across all 62 New York counties, emphasizing the diverse racial, ethnic, and economic fabric of the state. Utilizing data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, these profiles shed light on the existing disparities. Even prior to the pandemic, 1 in 5 New York children faced economic challenges, highlighting the need for equitable opportunities. Our profiles underline these disparities while emphasizing the financial implications of child poverty in New York.
