Data Analysis Paper
According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation (2019) and the Kids Count Data Centre,
Kids Count is the main source of data on children and families in disadvantaged communities,
where factors such as economic well-being, education, health, and community and family
integration are all affected (Kids Count Data Centre). In this analysis, I will examine the
economic status of kids and their families in Florida and Michigan from 2010 to 2017.
Children in need are those whose families do not have year-round, full-time employment,
those whose housing costs consume more than 30 percent of their income, and those who
themselves are between the ages of 16 and 19 and do not work or attend school (2019). These
problems have negative effects on children and their families' financial stability, mental health,
and interpersonal and social functioning. Without a solid social network to help replace the void
left by an absent parent, it may be challenging to strike a good balance between job and personal
life (a concept known as "social capital"). Florida's Kids Count database shows a striking disparity between families where both
parents must work to make ends meet, low-income families, those who have trouble affording
housing, and unenrolled high school seniors.
The above graph is a line chart showing the disparity between Florida and Michigan in terms of
the percentage of children who are poor. From 2010 to 2017, child poverty fell in both states.

The above data is a bar chart illustrating the variation in the percentage of children whose
parents need stable work in light of the Kids Count data book. It also reveals a rate decline
between 2010 and 2017.
The above column chart shows a decline in heavy financial obligations for Florida and Michigan
households. Teenagers who are not living at home, as seen in the above pie chart, are either in school
or working. The data came from the Kids Count Data Repository in 2019.
Children and their families' financial stability, health, and educational opportunities may
all be monitored with the help of the Kids Count data center. This may inform academics and
policymakers about the difficulties encountered by marginalized communities, and ultimately
lead to better outcomes for children.
