About our Children

I saw in the newspaper today that Whole Child Leon had released its 2016 report on the children of Leon County. You can find it here:

Lots of charts and graphs showing the data, and there are some disturbing trend in recent years, like a big jump in 2009 of the % of children living in poverty (it has since stayed stable at that higher level). We have some huge issues including infant mortality and school readiness, and the problems occur at a higher rate among the low-income population.

Names come and go in their popularity. Here's a fun article with some data on names. It discusses how one might predict age based on name:

What do you think? Is Gertrude older than Sophie? Is Clarence older than Kaden?
