Notes
The 1990 trend data is calculated using the percentage of families with related children who received public assistance under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. For SFY 2006, total TANF cases were used. Eligibility requirements for AFDC and TANF are different. The number of families with related children for 1990 comes from the 1990 Census; the number of families with related children under 18 is from the Census Bureau. To arrive at the percentage, the total of TANF cases is divided by the number of families with related children under 18 years of age. Families with related children are comprised of married couples with related children, female heads with related children, and male heads with related children. At a state and county level, this background fact is a percentage based on a three-fiscal-year average.
