Kids Count in Michigan provides child advocates, agencies, public officials and legislators with the best available data,
nonpartisan policy recommendations and tools to advance policies that benefit children. Our data-based profiles help
decision-makers understand the educational, social, economic and physical well-being of children across the state.

An equitable, two-generation approach will help Michigan’s kids keep moving forward. A child’s well-being should not be
determined by their race, place or income, but data shows that this is the reality. That’s why our racial equity lens considers
how policy decisions help or hinder outcomes. We also consider access to opportunity for the adults in kids’ lives when
working to improve well-being.
