A Letter rom the Executive Director
As the Annie E. Casey Foundation KIDS COUN grantee or the state o Oregon,Children First is charged with a considerable and weighty task: to provide the mostcredible, comprehensive data on the status o children in Oregon to decision makers,
advocates, and citizens. For nearly two decades, we have brought you the annualCounty Data Bookan exhaustive compilation o the most critical indicators ochildrens health, saety, and well-being or each county in our state.
In an eort to provide the most useul resource or guiding policies and undingdecisions, we have begun to reimagine this publication and how it can best serveour readers. While a ull redesign wont be rolled out until next year, you will notice
some updates in this, our 18th edition: the data tables have been reormatted to allow or easier year-over-yearcomparisons, as well as county-level comparisons to the state average. Being able to identiy and analyze trends inthis way allows us to see where we are succeeding and where to reocus our eorts.
But you will also notice some gaps. Much o our data comes rom state agencies. Due to budget cuts, a ewcategories have not been updated or several years and some indicators will no longer be tracked at the state level.While we understand decisions to prioritize basic services over data collection in tight budget years, not being ableto monitor how our programs are perorming is a signicant blind spot in our ability as a state to make evidence-based policy decisions.
Overall, this years publication points to a slow but steady economic recovery. However, the data also shows usthat our children are still at risk: child poverty is up and child abuse is on the rise. As we emerge rom the worstrecession in a generation, it will be important to use this inormation to prioritize unding or state programs thatwill help those amilies hit hardest by the economic downturn transition to stability and nancial security.
On behal o Children First or Oregons Board o Directors and sta, I would like to thank the Annie E. Casey
Foundation, our presenting sponsor, CareOregon, and all o our 2012 sponsors or underwriting this publicationand supporting our work. I also want to thank you or your commitment to the children in our state. I hope yound the2012 County Data Bookuseul in your work to improve the well-being o Oregons children and amilies.When we all come together to speak up or kids, we can make Oregon a place where all children are healthy andsae, and amilies have the support they need to thrive.
Sincerely,
Robin ChristianExecutive DirectorChildren First or Oregon

When parentsare struggling with addictions, domestic violence or other stressors associated with poverty, the basic needs ochildren, including nutrition, supervision, and nurturing, may go unmet. Data shows that as the number o kidsexperiencing poverty has risen, so have the rates o child abuse, neglect, or threat o harm.

Cost o Child CareAverage monthly cost or a single child 0-5 in a child care centeroo many Oregon amilies struggle to aord the child care necessary or them to be able to work. Te cost ochild care can easily exceed an adults earnings, making it difcult or parents to aord to work. Without anaordable or sae place to leave their child, many parents are aced with having to quit their jobs in order tocare or their children themselves. Child care assistance not only ensures that children are in consistent and saearrangements, but it is a basic support to help amilies maintain employment and achieve nancial stability.

Beware of Small Numbers
Counties vary significantly in population, size, and geographyand this variance should be considered when interpreting thedifferences among counties.
Be aware that small counties may have a small number ofevents (e.g., child deaths, suicide attempts) that can cause ratesto vary considerably from year to year; such variations may notreflect significant changes in the indicators. Rates based on lessthan five events are considered unstable.
What Is Being MeasuredSeveral types of data information are available for eachindicator, and it is important to distinguish among them. The
number, rate, and the county rate compared to Oregon are allvery different measures. A relevant column heading explainsthe information presented in the county indicator box. To geta better understanding of how the indicators themselves aredefined, refer to the data definitions in this section.
Some Challenges with Data
For many of these indicators there are no perfect methodsto measure data outcomes. Counties have varying reliabilityin their record keeping systems or resources committed tocounting occurrences.
Children First relies on the data that is available from variousstate agencies. Many of these measures are in need ofimprovement. However, interpreted carefully, data presented
here can be very useful tools for developing a meaningfulassessment of child well-being.
Data Tells Only Part of the StoryWhile these data provide important baseline information, theymust be understood in a broader context. Remember thata data snapshot provides one way to look at how childrenare doing in the county. There are many other importantperspectives to include and consider in piecing together anaccurate composite. Some of the other sources of criticalviewpoints include: human service agencies, government,schools, parents, and young people themselves.
