Child Opportunity Index 3.0-2023
The 2023 update of the Child Opportunity Index (COI 3.0) expands neighborhood-level data on children’s access to opportunity through 2023, incorporating enhanced indicators and improved data sources. This release refines measurement across 14 subdomains and standardizes values using the 2023 child population, offering a clearer picture of disparities in resources that shape children’s development. Because of methodological updates, results are not directly comparable to the earlier 2021 version.

Missouri Community College Service Areas
This layer displays the service areas for the various community colleges in the state of Missouri. Unlike in some states, Missouri’s community colleges are not a “system” with a centralized administration under one governing body. Instead, they are 12 separate and independent local colleges, with a history of working together to meet both state and local needs. As local entities, each college’s academic and workforce training programs mirror the local economy by design. Their service regions cover the entire state, allowing them to serve every Missourian and every Missouri business.
Public Education Expenditures per Student
Layer displays information about public education finances. Data is from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Common Core of Data (CCD) School District Finance Survey for fiscal year 2010. County-level data was generated by CARES by aggregating school-district level records with valid reported figures for total students and total expenditures.
