Our Research.

Grounding our advocacy in facts

Our Research and Data Team collects and analyzes data sourced from city, state and federal agencies. These data are used to produce reports, resources, community needs assessments and advocacy briefs that deepen public understanding of how New York’s children are faring and what public policies are needed to improve child, family and community well-being.

Keeping Track of New York City’s Children is the most extensive database available on the status of the city’s 1.8 million children and is used extensively by community leaders, nonprofit professionals, government officials and others to understand and improve the lives of New York City’s children.
