35 )))|(((
36 The neighborhoods where children live, learn and play influence their later life outcomes, including their economic mobility, educational attainment and health. The Child Opportunity Index (COI) 2.0 measures neighborhood resources and conditions that matter for children’s healthy development. COI 2.0 allows us, for the first time, to compare the level of opportunity that neighborhoods provide for children across the U.S. in a single metric.
