Growing Up in Houston, first published in 1994, is the foundation of CHILDREN AT RISK’s efforts to improve the quality of life for Houston’s children. Over the past eleven editions, the compilation of 130 indicators that measure the quality of life for children has evolved considerably. For this twelfth edition, we have reinvented the structure and format of the book in an endeavor to create the best resource possible for all those who serve children in the community. This latest edition features new indicators, single chapters dedicated to each issue, and more data visualizations. We hope that as a result we have created a resource that clearly presents the data surrounding critical issues facing children and educates stakeholders on the importance of improving each indicator.
