The Racial and Ethnic Disparities reports contain county-specific data regarding the Relative Rate Index (RRI) for youth of color. The RRI is calculated at six different decision points in the juvenile justice system.
Cautions regarding RRI data
The population estimates used in the current RRI reports are typically from the previous year or most recently available population estimate. The 2025 RRI reports apply the last available estimate from 2022 as the best available option; we believe this will have a negligible effect on the calculation of referral rates.
More details are available in the introduction of each report.
