In East Harlem, 46% of children live in poverty; meanwhile, the child poverty rate in East New York is 24%. Citywide averages hide community-level differences like these, and so do the policies they inform. What do the data tell us about the experiences of children and families across New York City—and what can we learn by looking more closely at individual communities? 

Join Citizens’ Committee for Children of New York (CCC) for a three-part webinar series drawing on findings from our 2026 databook, Keeping Track of New York City’s Children. CCC expert staff will walk through what the data show on child care access, economic and housing security, and youth well-being. 

Each session will highlight important trends and demonstrate how to find data for your community on the redesigned Keeping Track data platform. For policymakers, advocates, service providers, and anyone working on behalf of New York City’s children and families.
