Home Visiting Workforce Dashboard - Highlights
The Home Visiting Workforce Data Dashboard provides information on the workforce and potential households eligible for services.
Highlights from the 2025 dashboard include:
- As of early 2025, more than 25,000 home visitors and 6,000 supervisors, across models and funding sources, worked in local agencies throughout all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 5 U.S. territories, and approximately 65 percent of U.S. counties.
- Home visitors have an average of 5.6 years of experience in home visiting and are an average of 40 years old. Most home visitors (97 percent) identify as female.
- Most home visitors (83 percent) have post-secondary education. More than half (52 percent) have a bachelor’s degree, and another 14 percent have a graduate degree.
- There is approximately one home visitor per 315 U.S. households with a pregnant woman or child under 6 not in kindergarten living under 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
- If home visitors work with an average of 15 households, there are enough home visitors across the country to serve approximately 5 percent of U.S. households with a pregnant woman or child under six 6 not in kindergarten living under 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
- The number of available home visitors relative to the number of households that could benefit from home visiting varies widely across states. For example, for every one home visitor, Mississippi had 1,573 households with a pregnant woman or child under 6 not in kindergarten living under 200 percent of the federal poverty level compared to 60 such households in New Hampshire.
- Nationally, there are nearly half a million graduates in similar fields (nursing, early childhood education, social work, and public health) who could potentially become part of the home visiting workforce.
- Average annual earnings for workers in similar fields range from about $51, 130 for community health workers to $95,160 for registered nurses, nationally, with large differences by state. Attracting workers from similar fields into home visiting may require comparable annual earnings.
See the Technical Appendix PDF for details on data sources. The dashboard uses information currently available on the home visiting workforce but reflects limitations associated with data availability. Our data may underestimate the number of home visitors and home visiting supervisors. In future years, we will expand the dashboard, working with models and partners to improve data availability and provide a more complete picture of the workforce.
