Bold indicates an estimate that was calculated by applying the weighted percentage of victims (21.0%) or nonvictims (3.2%) removed from the home in reporting States to the number of child victims and children with "Unsubstantiated" dispositions in States that did not report removals.

This table lists the name of each State in the first column followed by the total number of victims in each State. The third column reports the number of these victims that were removed from their homes and the fourth calculates a percentage of victims who were removed from their homes. The fifth column reports the total number of nonvictims and the sixth and seventh report the number and percentage of nonvictims removed from their homes. Among 43 reporting States, 21percent of victims were removed from their homes. Among only 36 reporting States, 3.2 percent of nonvictims were removed.
