Abstract	This Kids Count data book examines statewide trends in the well-being of Texas' African American children. The statistical portrait is based on ten general areas of children's well being: (1) low birth weight babies; (2) prenatal care; (3) infant mortality; (4) child deaths; (5) births to single teens; (6) juvenile violent crime arrest rate; (7) teen violent deaths; (8) dropout rate; (9) fourth grade math performance; and (10) fourth grade reading performance. Following an introduction, section one of the report presents an overview of research findings including: rapid growth in child population; increased child poverty; family structure as a predictor of child poverty; descriptions of children in poverty and the working poor; and consequences of poverty. This section also presents descriptions of the indicators, and definitions and data explanations. The report's second section consists of indicator maps for the state as a whole. The third section and bulk of the report provides data, by county, on the key indicators for the years 1985, 1991, 1992, and 1994, including percent change over time. The report's final section provides tables, by indicator, of individual county rankings. (SD)
