Dataset

COI 3.0-2023, published in July 2025, is the most recent release of the Child Opportunity Index. With annual data for all U.S. neighborhoods from 2012 to 2023, COI 3.0-2023 is available at the census tract, ZIP code and county level.

Report

First findings from the Child Opportunity Index 3.0 find wide inequities in neighborhood opportunity between metro areas, within metros areas and for children of different races/ethnicities.

Data visualization

The neighborhood where a child grows up influences not only their daily lives, but also their health and wellbeing as an adult. Life expectancy and adult socioeconomic mobility vary considerably between very low- and very-high opportunity neighborhoods.
