Did You Know?

The nation's juvenile population (ages 0-17) is projected to increase 8% between 1995 and 2015. California has the largest projected increase (34%), followed by Hawaii, the District of Columbia, Alaska, and New Mexico. Declines in juvenile population are projected for one-third of the states. West Virginia has the largest projected decline (14%), followed by Maine, Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

This information is from the OJJDP Statistical Briefing Book's Juvenile Population Characteristics section, which answers frequently asked questions about the juvenile population and provides an "Easy Access" tool for finding demographic data on juveniles at the national, state, and county levels.
