Data Highlights

Summary

This graph follows cohorts of children who entered out-of-home care in a given year to determine how long they spent in care and what permanency outcome they achieved.

Questions this graph can answer

• How long have children spent in out-of-home care in various years?

• How has the speed of adoption compared to the speed of reunification?

See also

• Out-of-Home Entry Counts, for the count of children and youth in a given entry cohorts.

• Timely Permanency, for a simplified view of permanency rates within one year of entering care.

• Permanency Counts, for raw counts of children achieving permanency each year.

Notes

A trial return home is not counted as an exit for this measure.

If you select a more recent year (i.e., a year less than 48 months ago), the plot line will be truncated due to shorter follow-up time.
