Maine Marks

Maine's Marks are a set of 80 social indicators that monitor the status of child, family and community well-being for the state of Maine.

These indicators, reported on since 2000, are organized to report on the different categories of outcomes that were established by the Governor's Children's Cabinet. While not intended to measure the specific performance of any one governmental program, they do provide a way to monitor trends in the quality of life here in Maine. The Marks are updated annually and are presented on the internet at: www.mainemarks.org. In addition, every other year a publication is produced for use by policy makers, public agency managers and Maine citizens.
