Why This Indicator Matters
Children in poverty can face insurmountable barriers to success. They are more likely to suffer abuse or neglect. Their school performance is hampered by the greater likelihood of learning disabilities, repeating grades, and dropping out. They are more likely to become teen parents and to abuse drugs and alcohol. Neighborhood concentration of poverty can expose children to crime, violence, lead poisoning and other health hazards. Children may have less access to beneficial activities that offer recreation, learning, and socialization.
SAIPE estimates are based on American Community Survey data, population estimates and administrative records. They are more precise than the 5-year American Community Survey estimates, especially for areas with small population size. The SAIPE estimates are designed specifically for Title I allocations to school districts.
