Data Discussion
Unless otherwise specified, any missing data is either because there are no individuals who identify with the race/ethnicity or the data is suppressed to protect privacy. The race/ethnicity groups included in the indicator are as written in the original data source. Child Protective Services (CPS) investigations are ruled “indicated” where credible evidence is not satisfactorily refuted, or “unsubstantiated” where insufficient evidence is found to support a finding as either indicated or ruled out.
