    An issue brief issued by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in October 2017[i] looked at national and across-state data of ACE data among US children. Among the findings:

    • ACEs are common across all income groups and among children with both public and private insurance. Fifty-eight percent of U.S. children with ACES, however, live in homes with incomes less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
    • Black children are disproportionately represented among children with ACEs. Six in 10 have ACEs and they represent 17.4 percent of all children in the United States with ACEs.
    • Compared to those children with no ACEs, children three to five years old with two or more ACEs are four times more likely to have three or more of the six social and emotional challenges that can affect learning.
    • About two thirds of children six to 17 years old who bully, pick on, or exclude other children – or are themselves bullied, picked on or excluded – have ACEs.

    Nationally, 21.7 percent children are estimated to have two or more adverse childhood experiences with individual states ranging from 15 percent to 30.6 percent. Eleven states have significantly higher numbers of children with two or more ACEs (.05) including Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky and Ohio.
