Definition
Percent of children ages 0-13 with all parents working that can be served by the licensed child care capacity.
Only licensed facilities are included in the percentage. Licensed school age programs are included, which is why the age ranges 0-13.
Not all children ages 0-13 with all parents working will need child care, so this percentage is not expected to be 100%. However, this measure provides an estimate for how many children with working parents could be served by the licensed capacity.
The denominator for each percentage is the number of children ages 0 to 13 where all parents in the household are in the labor force (i.e., child care demand) in respective geographic areas.
