The Home Visiting Workforce Data Dashboard provides information on the workforce and potential households eligible for services.

Highlights from the 2026 dashboard include:

• Across the U.S., approximately 21,000 home visitors provide home visiting services to families and children, supported by about 7,200 supervisors.
• Home visitors have an average of 4.6 years of experience. Nearly half of home visitors (45 percent) have less than 1 year of experience.
• The average age of home visitors is 41 years old. One in four home visitors is over age 50, meaning a significant number of home visitors will reach retirement age within the next decade.
• Most home visitors (97 percent) are female.
• Most home visitors (82 percent) have post-secondary education. More than half (51 percent) have a bachelor’s degree, and another 15 percent have a graduate degree.
• Average starting annual salary for home visitors across eight reporting models, excluding nurse home visitors, is $42,700. The average annual salary in adjacent fields range from $53,000 for community health workers to $63,600 for early education teachers. Attracting workers from adjacent fields into home visiting may require comparable annual salaries, adjusted for local cost of living.
• Nationally, there are about three hundred thousand graduates in adjacent fields (early childhood and elementary education, nursing, social work, and public health) who could potentially join the home visiting workforce.

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.
