• Three children would be low weight birth babies• Two children would be of minority race• Seven children would live in poverty

• Sixteen children would be covered by Medicaid• One child would have no health insurance• Three children would live in families where the

household head did not graduate from high school

If a hypothetical classroom of 30 children were based on current demographics in West Virginia, this is how the students in that classroom would live:

THE STATE OF OUR CHILDREN 2019 Data Book


West Virginia ranks 47th overall in economic well-being, dropping from 42nd last year.

West Virginia has a quarter of our children in families living below the federal poverty level.

West Virginia has seen gains in education for children as more high school seniors graduate on time and students make slight advances in math and reading proficiency.

West Virginia has one of the lowest rates (2%) of uninsured children in the country, ranking 2nd as a tie with 5 other states.

West Virginia school nutrition programs provide healthy, nutritious breakfast and lunch meals free to all public school students.

Children growing up in financially stable environments have better long-term outcomes. Decision-makers need to support programs that connect parents to economic opportunities.

What can you do?

ChallengesData Conclusions

Welcome to the 2018 West Virginia KIDS COUNT Data Book! The purpose of this publication is to provide state legislators, public officials, and child advocates with reliable data needed to advance sound policies that benefit children and families. This year, the book has undergone an important transformation in two ways:

First, WV KIDS COUNT is aligning our State Data Book

Indicators with The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 16

national child well-being indicators in four domains

that capture what children need to thrive including

1) health, 2) education, 3) economic well-being, and 4)

family and community.

Second, WV KIDS COUNT convened a group of child-

serving professionals and parents to identify emerging

areas of focus that influence child well-being issues

in West Virginia. These indicators are included in this

Data Book.

The national and emerging West Virginia child well-

being indicators are included in this Data Book.

Because of these changes and additions, in some

cases, we are starting with baseline data and will

collect additional data over time for comparison

purposes.


A Message from our Executive DirectorTricia Kingery, MA, MBAExecutive Director, WV KIDS COUNT


Our VisionKIDS COUNT is determined to make

West Virginia a great place to be a kid.

Our MissionThe West Virginia KIDS COUNT provides the

most trusted data about the well-being of

children and builds alliances to advocate for

what kids need.

As a health economist, I believe in the power of data. Accurate, unbiased information about how our children are faring is an essential tool for effecting change in West Virginia. However, like all tools, data must be wielded responsibly.

It’s critical that users understand the limitations of the

information contained in this book. For example, the indicators

are primarily presented at the county and state levels; this

aggregation can mask important trends that occur within these

larger geographic areas. Further, some counties in West Virginia

are relatively unpopulated, which means that their indicators

are subject to the pitfalls of small sample sizes. In the interest

of transparency, The Data Book includes detailed information

on the sources and methods used for calculating all indicators.

Readers are encouraged to take the data as a starting point, and

dig deeper when additional information is needed.

This year’s Data Book reveals some important truths about the state of our children – some more positive than others. Among the good news is that West Virginia has one of the lowest rates (2%) of uninsured children in the country. Since having insurance provides the foundation for accessing health care and improving health outcomes, this represents an important health policy victory.


A Message from our ResearcherLindsay Allen, PhD MA Department of Health Policy, Management, and LeadershipWest Virginia University School of Public Health

Unfortunately, providing children with insurance alone is not

enough to improve health outcomes in our state. Rates of health

care use are still worrying low: only 45% of WV’s Medicaid-

enrolled children received a well-child visit in 2017; a similarly

low percentage received dental care. It’s up to policy makers

and advocates to ensure that barriers to receiving care (like

transportation limitations and provider shortages) are reduced.

West Virginia also has seen gains in education for its children as

more high school seniors graduate on time and students make

slight advances in math and reading proficiency.

Unfortunately, in a national ranking of economic well-being

among other states, West Virginia is 47, dropping five spots

from 42 last year. Knowing that children who grow up in

financially stable environments have better outcomes long-term,

one of our greatest challenges lies in the fact that a quarter of

West Virginia’s children are in families that live below the federal

poverty level. This begs the question, what can we do? The

answer: Use the data to educate decision-makers on the critical

importance of investing in programs that connect parents to

economic opportunities.

Whether you are a parent, advocate, or policy-maker, I

encourage you to use the information contained in this Data

Book responsibly to drive investments in West Virginia’s children

and families. and thank you for your commitment to the children

of West Virginia.
