This graph shows the rate of improvement in the Child and Youth Well-Being Index for Caucasians across three regions: Los Angeles County, the Bay Area, and California. It's important to note that the starting points for these three regions -- that is, the 100 value in 1995 -- is relative to each region, meaning, for example, that Caucasian children in California and Los Angeles didn't start at the same level.

Note: Since 2000, health-related data in California have distinguished multiracial groups from Caucasians. Any inconsistency before and after the year 2000 due to these categorical changes was not adjusted due to lack of available data. Thus, the Caucasian category from 1995 to 1999 includes multiracial groups.
