DATA STORY
Historical Average Daily Population in the Juvenile Justice Center
Juvenile Probation DepartmentPart of Juvenile Probation Department Data Portal
Average daily population (ADP) is a measure of how many young people, on average, are in the Juvenile Justice Center each day per month.
Notably, the ADP does not include youth committed to Log Cabin Ranch, which closed in 2018, or the Division of Juvenile Justice, which ceased intakes in 2021. Starting in 2021, the ADP includes youth detained in Juvenile Hall as a result of an arrest, youth committed to Juvenile Hall, and those committed to San Francisco's Secure Youth Treatment Facility, who would have otherwise been eligible for commitment to the Division of Juvenile Justice.
From January 1997 – January 2024, the average daily population in the Juvenile Justice Center decreased 80%, from 140 youth to 28 youth.
