Communities Count launches new indicators

Communities Count, a public-private data partnership, has completed the launch of all indicators on its new website (www.communitiescount.org).  A sampler of new indicators:

• Childhood Health Risks, a new Health topic that includes King County data on the strong association between Adverse Childhood Experiences and adult health outcomes;
• Disability, a new Health topic that explores local data on the county’s largest minority group.
• Education of English Language Learners, a particular challenge for King County school districts, which serve the most diverse language communities in the state.
• Sub-regional data (King County cities) for Affordable Rental Housing, Crime, Domestic Violence, Health Insurance, Teen Births, and Traffic Safety.
