Notes

Population sub-groups are listed and referred to the way the agency or organization providing the data references the sub-groups. Though you will see varying nomenclature used, the way we refer to population sub-groups throughout the 2024 Alabama Kids Count Data Book is intentional in order to be as accurate as possible in representing the data.
