Definition

Annual Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) enrollment numbers represent infants and children under 5 who are receiving benefits as of April 30th of each year. Annual WIC enrollment percentages are the number of infants and children under age 5 enrolled in WIC divided by the total population under 5.

Some children enrolled in WIC were not assigned to particular counties. Therefore, state totals exceed totaled county enrollments. Strafford County data were unavailable for 2010.
