Note: Maps use the natural break classification method, which reflects patterns in the data by dividing the map into naturally occurring groups. Using statistical tools, this method determines cut-off points for each group by identifying large gaps in data values.

Kids Count Alaska operates out of the Institute of Social & Economic Research at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Alaska's climate, size and vast roadless expanses make for a unique state. It is because of these conditions we strive to develop indicators most relevant to Alaska.
