This table breaks down the child population into age groups in addition to the children who are maltreatment victims. It compares these two statistics by means of a rate of victimization for each age group. The first column of the table lists each State name. The following column lists the population of children ages 0-3 for each State. The third column lists the number of victims in this age group for each State followed by the rate of victimization for this age group. The fourth, fifth, and sixth columns list the population, number of victims, and rate of victimization for the age group 4-7. This set of three columns continues for the age groups 8-11, 12-15, and 16-17.
