Longitudinal Census Data about the U.S.'s Youngest Kids
The ECLDS now includes American Community Survey (ACS) estimates from 2006-10 and 2011-15 for a more longitudinal look at your county’s youngest kids and their families. Minnesota purchased, with federal SLDS funding, customized tables from the United States Census Bureau’s ACS that offer users more focused data for children under age 6. ECLDS is the exclusive online source for these more detailed Census data tables, split into smaller age bands (0-1 yrs, 2-3 yrs, and 4-5 yrs) for all states, as well as Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.

Data Use Toolkit for Your Program’s Strategic Planning and Problem-Solving
The Minnesota ECLDS team has published a resulting toolkit of the three-year pilot project Minnesota Growing Evaluability Together (GrEaT) that ended in 2019. The GrEaT pilot focused on building the evaluation capacity and data use of a handful of local early childhood programs in Minnesota.
