Data Highlights

Summary

This graph examines investigations and assessments of reported child abuse and/or neglect. It shows how many households, per 1,000, had at least one screened-in report.

Questions this graph can answer

• Has the relative rate of households investigated changed over time?

• Which counties had the highest rates of investigation in a given year?

• Which races/ethnicities had the highest rates of investigation in a given year?

See also

• Investigations & Assessments (Count), for the number of investigations and assessments.

• Households with Children Re-Reported, for the rate at which households with investigations/assessments were later reported again.

Notes

All households with a screened-in report of concerns for child safety receive a CPS investigation or are assessed for other services, so the rate of investigations and assessments is a population-based rate of screened-in reports.
