How often are siblings placed together when they enter the system?

On January 1, 2015, among the children in out-of-home care, more than 59 percent of siblings were placed ‘all together,’ roughly 17 percent were placed with ‘some’ of their siblings, and nearly 24 percent were not placed with any siblings. The trend since 2000 has been a steady increase in the percent of siblings placed ‘all together’ and a steady decrease in the percent of siblings not placed with any sibling.
