Sparking discussion to ignite change, that's the goal of the Indiana Youth Institute's 2025 Kids Count Data Book.The data, released in mid-February at the Statehouse, outlines trends affecting kids in Indiana. From health and education to economic stability and family support, the report paints a detailed picture of what life looks like for Hoosier kids.The report ranks Indiana 27th in the United States for overall child well-being.The data also found, in Marion County, that access to exercise opportunities is at 91% compared to 76% statewide.The report also saw a decrease in substance abuse for students in grades 7-12.But, Marion County's youths still face challenges. One of the biggest is mental health, a problem that increased during the pandemic. Indiana Youth Institute plans to travel to other regions of Indiana to present local data about kids to community leaders and advocates.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
