I'm doing a portfolio in my computer class and need to do a couple of worksheets in excel. So I need to get some statistics of the following: number, race, sex, and age of orphans in the orphanages or similar systems in the USA. And possibly cost of living.
Does anyone know of a good website that lists Orphanage Statistics?
“Old-time orphanages--large buildings housing large numbers of
orphans--mostly disappeared in this country by the 1940s. They have
been replaced by modem facilities known as "group homes" or "group
residential programs." Today about 30,000 children--a small fraction
of the more than 500,000 kids living apart from their natural
parents--live in group homes or group residential programs scattered
across the country.”
the percentage of kids in institutions dropped from 57.8% in 1933 to
31% in 1962 and 17.1% in 1989
