About Keeping Track
Keeping Track is New York City’s most comprehensive data platform on child and family well-being.
Why Keeping Track
Every child healthy, housed, educated, and safe.
Children’s opportunities and outcomes are shaped by factors such as family income, housing stability, child care, health care, education, and neighborhood safety -- and those conditions can vary dramatically across New York City.
Keeping Track makes those differences visible.
As a trusted data authority, CCC curates, validates and interprets data from multiple sources—turning raw data into evidence policymakers, advocates, researchers, students, and community leaders can use to drive change.
