Data Brief on Demographic Trends in Foster
Care Released by ACYF
A new data brief was released
this month by the Office of Data, Analysis, Research and Evaluation (ODARE) and
the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF). Recent Demographic
Trends in Foster Care documents trends over the last decade in
the size and racial and ethnic composition of the foster care population,
including select state and county patterns.
Overall the foster care
population has reduced in number over the last decade, and the percentage of
African American children in care has declined dramatically, although the
shifts are largely centralized in a few locations. For more detail the brief
can be found on the Children’s Bureau’s website.
