WHAT IS KIDS COUNT?KIDS COUNT® is a well-known, well-respected project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Its purpose is to track the well-being of children at both the national and the state levels. All 50 states have KIDS COUNT projects, allowing for state-by-state comparisons of child well-being indicators. Projects are also located in the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

In Nevada, the primary activities of the KIDS COUNT project are to:

• collect, analyze, and distribute the best available data measuring the educational, social, and physical well-being of children and youth in Nevada;

• educate and inform decision-makers, citizens, funders, service providers, and community agencies regarding data, policy, and resource analysis;

• provide linkages with community efforts to reach decision-makers with information concerning relevant issues for children and youth.

WHAT IS THE CENTER FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH?The Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) was established in 1975. CBER conducts applied research vital to business and government. CBER cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of the UNLV’s research community throughout the state of Nevada and the country. CBER’s work is wide ranging. It includes tracking local, regional, and state economic conditions; providing national, state, local, and custom economic and business forecasts; conducting economic and business research for clients; providing economic impact studies and data analysis for clients; and conducting surveys and survey analysis for clients. CBER’s relationship with KIDS COUNT began in 1996, when it began providing data for the Nevada KIDS COUNT Data Book. Since 2000, CBER has been publishing the Data Book. This book is now in its 17th edition.

Data Summary

The following is a summary of the seven child well-being indicators. Comparing the most current data on the child well-being indicators with the previous years’ data, we find that six of the indicators improved and one worsened. See the appendix for county-level data, definitions of indicators, and data calculations used in the book.

Percent of Low-Birthweight Babies(babies weighing less than 5.5 pounds at birth)

• The percent of low-birthweight (LBW) babies to all females in Nevada for the years 2011-2013 was 8.0, a slight decrease from 8.1 percent for 2010-2012.

• Among the 13 counties for which statistically reliable rates could be calculated (those reporting 10 or more LBW babies during 2011-2013), the percent of LBW babies ranged from 5.0 in Lander County to 12.7 in Mineral County.

• In 2013, the percent of LBW babies to teen mothers ages 15 to 19 was 8.3. The percentage for black (African American) teen mothers was 13.0; for Hispanic teen mothers, 7.7; and for white teen mothers, 7.0. The percentage for Asian or Pacific Islander and Native American, Eskimo, or Aleut teen mothers was not meaningful due to a low number of LBW births.

Teen Birth Rate (births to females ages 15 to 19 per 1,000 females)

• Nevada’s average teen birth rate for 2011-2013 was 31.5 per 1,000 females ages 15 to 19, down from 34.7 for 2010-2012.

• The total number of teen births in 2013 was 2,552.

• The average teen birth rate ranged from 0.0 in Esmeralda County to 45.5 in Humboldt County.

• Eureka, Lincoln, and Storey Counties’ average teen birth rates were considered not meaningful due to a low number of births for each county. Calculated rates based on very small numbers are not statistically reliable. As such, rates for counties with fewer than 10 births for the three-year period are not reported.

• Blacks (African Americans) and Hispanics had the highest average teen birth rates for 2011-2013 (59.2 and 49.9, respectively), followed by Native Americans, Eskimos, or Aleuts (23.4); whites (16.1); and Asians or Pacific Islanders (15.2).

Nevada KIDS COUNT 5

Percent of Children in Poverty (children under age 18 who live in families with incomes below the U.S. poverty threshold)

• Nevada’s child poverty rate in 2013 was 22.7 percent, down from 23.4 percent in 2012. An estimated 147,638 children lived in poverty in 2013.

• The percent of children in poverty ranged from 9.8 in Eureka County to 31.6 in Nye County.

Adjusted Cohort High School Graduation Rate (grades 9-12)

• Nevada’s adjusted cohort high school graduation rate for 2013-2014 was 70.0 percent, which is down from 70.7 percent in 2012-2013.

• The graduation rate ranged from 64.7 percent in Mineral County to 93.1 percent in Storey County.

• Among the racial/ethnic groups, Asians had the highest graduation rate, at 84.3 percent. In contrast, American Indians or Alaska Natives had the lowest rate, at 52.3 percent.

Infant Mortality Rate (deaths during babies’ first year of life per 1,000 births)

• Nevada’s average infant mortality rate for 2011-2013 was 5.2, which was a slight decrease from 5.3 in 2010-2012.

• Of the 103,776 babies born during 2011-2013, 538 died before they reached their first birthday. One hundred eighty-two babies died during 2013.

• The leading cause of infant death was perinatal period conditions.

• The infant mortality rate ranged from 0.0 in Esmeralda, Eureka, Lincoln, Mineral, Pershing, and Storey Counties to 7.9 in Lyon County. Statistically reliable rates could not be calculated for eight counties due to a low number of births or to fewer than 10 infant deaths between 2011-2013.

Data Summary


Child Death Rate(deaths per 100,000 children ages 1-14)

• Nevada’s 2011-2013 average child death rate was 15.2 per 100,000 children ages 1 to 14, down from 16.3 for 2010-2012. Two hundred forty-four children died during 2011-2013. Seventy-nine children died during 2013.

• Accidents was the leading cause of child deaths in 2013. • Over the three-year period, six counties reported no child deaths—

Esmeralda, Eureka, Lander, Lincoln, Mineral, and Storey.

• Two counties had reliable average child death rates for 2011-2013—Washoe and Clark. Their respective rates were 15.5 and 13.9. Statistically reliable rates were not reported for the remaining nine counties due to small population numbers for the 1 to 14 age groups or fewer than 10 child deaths during the three-year period.

Teen Death Rate (deaths from all causes per 100,000 teens ages 15-19)

• Nevada’s average teen death rate for 2011-2013 was 48.9 per 100,000 teens ages 15 to 19, down from 53.3 for 2010-2012.

• During 2011-2013, 268 teens died from all causes.

• In 2013, of the 69 teen deaths, 28 were from accidents, 15 were from suicides, and 7 were from homicides. Nineteen deaths were from other causes.

• The teen suicide death rate increased from 6.1 in 2012 to 8.1 in 2013.

• The teen homicide death rate decreased from 5.0 in 2012 to 3.8 in 2013.

• The teen accident death rate decreased from 19.8 in 2012 to 15.2 in 2013.

• Only Washoe and Clark Counties had an age-specific population of 10,000 or more that allowed for calculation of reliable average teen death rates for 2011-2013. Their rates were 51.8 and 45.5, respectively. Esmeralda, Eureka, Lander, and Mineral Counties reported zero teen deaths during the three-year period.

Juvenile Crime

Juvenile Crime DefinitionsTotal youth placed in secure detention. “‘Detention’ refers to youth held in secure detention facilities at some point

during court processing of delinquency cases- i.e., prior to disposition. In some jurisdictions, the detention population

may also include youth held in secure detention to await placement following a court disposition. The purposed [sic] of DMC, detention may also include youth held in jails and lockups. Detention should NOT include youth held in

shelters, group homes, or other non-secure facilities.”

Total youth placed in secure state facilities. “‘Confined cases’ are those in which youth are placed in secure residential

or correctional facilities for delinquent offenders following a court disposition. The confinement population should

NOT include all youth placed in any form of out-of-home placement. Group homes, shelter homes, and mental health

treatment facilities, for example, would usually not be considered confinement. Every jurisdiction collecting DMC data

must specify which forms of placement do and do not qualify as confinement.”

Total youth certified to adult status. “Data reported for criminal court transfer should at least include judicially ‘waived

cases’. ‘Waived cases’ are those in which a youth is transferred to criminal court as a result of a judicial finding in

juvenile court. A petition is usually filed in juvenile court asking the juvenile judge to waive jurisdiction over there

[sic] matter. The juvenile judge decides whether a case merits criminal prosecution. When a waiver request is denied,

the matter is usually scheduled for an adjudicatory hearing in the juvenile court. If a request is granted, the juvenile

is then sent to criminal court for further action. Juveniles may be transferred to criminal court using a variety of other

methods, but most of these methods are difficult or impossible to track from within the juvenile justice system, including

prosecutor discretion or concurrent jurisdiction, legislative exclusion, and the variety of blended sentencing laws.”

Cases resulting in probation placement. “‘Probation cases’ are those in which a youth is placed on formal or court-

ordered supervision following a juvenile court disposition. Note: youth on ‘probation’ under voluntary agreements

without adjudication should not be counted here, but should be part of the diverted population instead.”

Juvenile arrests. “Youth are considered to be ‘arrested’ when they are apprehended, stopped, or otherwise contacted

by law enforcement agencies and suspected to having committed a delinquent act. Delinquent acts are those which,

if committed by an adult, would be criminal, including crimes against persons, crimes against property, drug offenses,

and crimes against the public order.”

Cases diverted. “Youth referred to juvenile court for delinquent acts are often screened by an intake department (either

within or outside the court). The intake department may decide to dismiss the case for lack of legal sufficiency, to resolve

the matter informally (without the filing of charges), or formally (with the filing of charges). The diversion population

includes all youth referral for legal processing but handled without the filing of formal charges.”

Cases petitioned (charges filed). “Formally charged (petitioned) delinquency cases are those that appear on a court

calendar in response to the filing of a petition, complaint, or other legal instrument requesting the court to adjudicate

a youth as a delinquent or status offender, or to waive jurisdiction and transfer a youth to criminal court. Petitioning

occurs when a juvenile court intake officer, prosecutor, or other official determines that a case should be handled

formally. In contrast informal handling is voluntary and does not include the filing of charges.”

Cases resulting in delinquent findings. “Youth are judged or found to be ‘delinquent’ during adjudicatory hearings in

juvenile court. Being found (or adjudicated) delinquent is roughly equivalent to bring [sic] convicted in criminal court.

It is a formal legal finding of responsibility. If found to be delinquent youth normally proceed to disposition hearings

where they may be placed on probation, committed to residential facilities, be ordered to perform community service,

or various other sanctions.”

Child Death RateThe child death rate is the number of deaths (from all causes) of children between the ages of 1 and 14 per 100,000 children. The data are reported by the child’s county of residence, rather than by place of death. Average three-year rates are not calculated for counties with an age-specific population of less than 10,000 or fewer than 10 child deaths.Data from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Public Health Informatics and Epidemiology, Bureau of Health Statistics, Planning and Emergency Response, Nevada State Health Division. Rates calculated by CBER.

High School Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate“A graduation cohort is defined as the set of students that enter ninth grade in a given school year. A cohort graduation rate is the percentage of these students who graduate within a particular time frame, such as four years.”

The adjusted cohort graduation rate is calculated using the following formula: (Number of cohort members who earned a regular high school diploma by end of the 2013-14 school year) / (Number of first-time 9th graders in fall 2010 [starting cohort] plus students who transferred in, minus students who transferred out, emigrated, or died during school years 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, and 2013-2014).Data from the Nevada Department of Education. Nevada Department of Education, “Nevada Report Card Frequently Asked Questions,” 2012-2013 State Accountability Summary Report, available online at: http://www.nevadareportcard.com/DI/Help/FAQ, as of 8/12/14.

Infant Mortality RateThe infant mortality rate measures the number of babies who die during their first year of life per 1,000 live births. The data are reported by county of residence, rather than place of death. Average three-year rates are not calculated for counties with fewer than 600 births or fewer than 10 infant deaths. Data from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Public Health Informatics and Epidemiology, Bureau of Health Statistics, Planning and Emergency Response, Nevada State Health Division. Rates calculated by CBER.

Percent of Children in Poverty

The percent of children in poverty is the percentage of children under the age of 18 who live in families with incomes below the U.S. poverty threshold. In 2013, the U.S. poverty threshold for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 related children under 18 years) was $23,624.Data from the U.S. Census Bureau. U.S. Census Bureau, “Poverty Thresholds 2013,” online at: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/data/threshld/index.html, as of 8/12/14.

Indicator Definitions and Sources of Data


Percent of Low-Birthweight Babies

Low-birthweight babies (LBW) are those weighing less than 2,500 grams (5.5 pounds) at birth. Low-birthweight data, reported by mother’s county of residence rather than infant’s place of birth, measure the percentage of live births in which babies weigh less than 2,500 grams. Average three-year rates are not reported for fewer than 10 LBW baby births over the three-year period.Data from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Public Health Informatics and Epidemiology, Bureau of Health Statistics, Planning and Emergency Response, Nevada State Health Division. Percents calculated by CBER.

Teen Birth RateThe teen birth rate is the number of births to teenage females between the ages of 15 and 19, per 1,000 females. Average three-year rates are not calculated for counties with fewer than 10 births. Data from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Public Health Informatics and Epidemiology, Bureau of Health Statistics, Planning and Emergency Response, Nevada State Health Division. Rates calculated by CBER.

Teen Death RateThe teen death rate is the number of deaths (from all causes) per 100,000 teens ages 15 to 19. The data are reported by the youth’s county of residence, rather than by place of death. Average three-year rates are not calculated for counties with an age-specific population of less than 10,000 or fewer than 10 teen deaths.Data from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Public Health Informatics and Epidemiology, Bureau of Health Statistics, Planning and Emergency Response, Nevada State Health Division. Rates calculated by CBER.

Data Limitations and Calculations

Data Limitations

Because many Nevada counties have small populations, we calculated three-year averages to stabilize and improve the usefulness of the birth and death data. Nonetheless, when the average for a county is the result of a small number of events, such as nine or fewer infant deaths, we do not report the data. Instead, we note NM = Not Meaningful in a table, and raw data are provided as appropriate in the appendix.

Our data providers may need time to compile and disseminate accurate information. Therefore, current-year data were sometimes not available when this report was produced. Also, the sum of the county data may not equal the state total due to rounding and/or missing data.

Data Calculations Used in Book

The percent of low-birthweight babies: (sum of 3-year number of low-birthweight babies/sum of 3-year number of total births) x 100.

The infant mortality rates: (sum of 3-year number of infant deaths)/(sum of 3-year number of births) x 1,000.

The teen birth rates: (sum of 3-year number of teen births)/(sum of 3-year female population ages 15-19) x 1,000.

The child death rates: (sum of 3-year number of child deaths)/(sum of 3-year population ages 1-14) x 100,000.

The teen death rates: (sum of 3-year number of teen deaths)/(sum of 3-year population ages 15-19) x 100,000.
