Data provided in this issue of Kentucky: By The Numbers were compiled to correspond to the issues covered in the Family and Individual Development section of the 

Cooperative Extension Statewide Community Needs Assessment  

https://extension.ca.uky.edu/community-assessment

The statewide needs assessment was conducted to identify and prioritize community needs, issues, and/or opportunities that Extension could address through targeted educational programming and engagement efforts.  

The survey was divided into 4 sections: 1) Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2) Youth Development, 3) Family and Individual Development, and 4) Community and Economic Development. 

The secondary data have been compiled to assist in using the survey results for local planning.  Data from many different sources were compiled and links to each data source are provided both in the pdf file and below.

For counties with small populations and small population groups within larger counties, the margins of error can be quite large. The margin of error tells us how precise the estimate is by indicating the range within which the estimate most likely falls. For help in understanding the margin of error, see the brief Kentucky: By The Numbers publication “And Now for the Grain of Salt.”
