Description:
This research brief provides a basic description of childcare centers' experiences with financial distress. The clear pattern we find of greater distress in the areas of more concentrated poverty is not surprising. Yet, our results put numbers on the extent of distress, documenting the strikingly high levels in the poorest areas, especially those with majority Black populations, and the extent to which even centers in somewhat better-off areas are not free from financial struggles.
