With the release of the 2010 Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement data, counts of youth held in tribal facilities are not included in Easy Access to the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement.

There have been approximately 150 youth in tribal facilities on average. Visit the Data Revisions section of the Methods page for more information.
