New local data for each county in Utah are now available at the Voices for Utah Children website. Each county-level profile includes child demographics and measures of child-wellbeing related to education, health and economics.
Here are just some of the questions you can answer with the new data:
- What is the average student/teacher ratio at local schools?
- What percent of kids are chronically absent from local schools?
- How many children were victims of abuse in my county?
- What is the children’s health insurance rate in my county?
- How many local kids are living in poverty?

For 30 years now, Voices for Utah Children has called on our state, federal and local leaders to put children’s needs first. But the work is not done. The children of 30 years ago now have children of their own. Too many of these children are growing up in poverty, without access to healthcare or quality educational opportunities.
