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.
