Contents:
Child population: Use the filters below to segment the total child population (ages 0 through 12 years) by income in terms of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) or State Median Income (SMI), household labor participation, and age.
Program eligibility: Use the filters below to segment the child population by income (in terms of the Federal Poverty Level, or FPL, and/or the State Median Income, or SMI). The map and information pane will show how many children out of the selected population are eligible for key funded programs [CCDF, Early Head Start/Head Start].
Scenario analysis: Use the filters below to analyze alternative program eligibility scenarios. For example, the baseline scenario could reflect the current eligibility requirements for a funded program [CCDF, Early Head Start/Head Start]. The modeled scenario can reflect a different set of eligibility requirements.
