This indicator represents the number of persons age birth through 19 who are recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). TANF is a need-based income assistance program for families with children who need financial support because one parent is absent from the home, one parent is incapacitated, family income is within the program standards, or countable assets are within the program limits.
The denominator for the percentage is the total population age birth through 19 in respective geographic areas.
