Study Ranks Rockies’ Counties on Youth Care
By Bryan Hurlbutt, 4-28-06
“Nurturing the Youth,” one section of the 2006 Colorado College State of the Rockies Report Card, assigns letter grades to all 281 counties in the Rocky Mountain West on youth care. County grades are computed using 24 different indicators, which fall into six generally categories: teen involvement, family support, educational opportunity, healthy surroundings, neighborhood safety, and community engagement. Click here for the "Nurturing the Youth" section of the report (PDF). What grade did your county earn? What’s going on in your community that is or is not being captured by this data? You’re the on-the-ground experts, so share your thoughts!
