Infant and Child Deaths

Data on child deaths in North Carolina is available from the N.C. Child Fatality Task Force. The data, gathered by the State Center for Health Statistics and the Child Fatality Staff in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, show a slight increase in child deaths over last year’s historic low. Despite the uptick, child deaths have decreased 13 percent over the last decade and 29 percent since the inception of the Child Fatality Task Force in 1991.

KIDS COUNT Data Center

KIDS COUNT Data Center, a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the U.S. This system contains state-level data for more than 100 measures of child well-being, including information on children in immigrant families, education, employment and income, health, health insurance, population and family characteristics, poverty and youth risk factors. This easy-to-use, powerful online database allows you to generate custom reports for a geographic area (Profiles) or to compare geographic areas on a topic (Ranking, Maps, and Line Graphs).
