Trenton Kids Count 2023 - A City Profile of Child Well-Being

Advocates for Children of New Jersey (ACNJ) is proud to be publishing our third Trenton Kids Count Data Book in over 20 years, a one-stop source for child well-being data on the state’s capital city. Trenton Kids Count includes the latest statistics, along with data trends, in the following areas: demographics, family economic security, child health, child protection, child care, education, and teens.

Trenton Kids Count 2023 looks a bit different compared to previous data books. In particular, due to data quality concerns, the U.S. Census Bureau did not release American Community Survey (ACS) 2020 oneyear estimates. For this reason, tables using ACS one-year estimates do jump from 2019 to 2021.

Policymakers, including elected officials and government agencies, use the data to make informed decisions.

Service providers use the data to improve their response to emerging child-related issues in their communities and cities.

Grant writers use the data to write proposals and solicit support for programs that help children and families.

Concerned residents become better, more informed advocates using the data to identify and address problems facing children and families in their community.
