Now Available - Community Risk Profiles

The DSHS Research and Data Analysis Division (RDA) is pleased to announce the release of the January 2018 CORE Profiles, a comprehensive collection of community indicators for Washington (https://www.dshs.wa.gov/sesa/research-and-data-analysis/community-risk-profiles).

NEW this time: Four new indicators in the School Domain-Academic Achievement have been released for the school years 2015, 2016, and 2017 using the Smarter Balanced Assessment data. The indicators are presented as protective factors and include Successful Academic Performance in English Language Arts for Grades 3-5 and Grades 6-8, and Successful Academic Performance in Math for Grades 3-5 and Grades 6-8.

The Profiles, comprised of over 450 reports, provide annual trends for the last 5 to 12 years for the state and every county, school district, and locale. The indicators cover such topics as child and family health, availability of drugs and substance abuse, criminal justice involvement among teens and adults, academic performance of children and youth, and socioeconomic conditions in your community. Nearly 50 indicators are presented in graphs, maps and tables; the reports are available in PDF and Excel. The profiles are updated twice a year.
