Description:
As in previous years, we report on a variety of data related to the cost and affordability of child care. We provide statistics on the average cost of care for each state and the percent of median income married and single parents pay for child care. Cost and affordability percentages are reported for center-based and family child care; top 10 rankings (see page 29) are provided within the body of this report, and all rankings, reported costs and affordability percentages are provided in the Appendix. Also, for the second year, we calculated the national average child care cost. (author abstract)
