| Notes applicable to all tables: | |
| 1. | The source for this table is ACF-801 data for FY 2004. |
| 2. | All counts are "adjusted" numbers of families and children. These "adjusted" numbers represent the number funded through CCDF only. The "adjusted" number is the raw or "unadjusted" number reported by the State multiplied by the pooling factor as reported on the ACF-800. A few States have indicated that the pooling factor reported on the ACF-800 is not applicable to the ACF-801. This report takes all these factors into consideration in calculating the "adjusted" numbers or percentages. |
| 3. | All States provide an actual "unadjusted" count of families served each month. For States reporting full population data, the number of child records reported each month was directly counted. However, for States that only submit samples, the ratio of children-to-families was determined each month from the samples and then multiplied by the reported number of families to obtain an estimate of the "unadjusted" number of children served each month. The "unadjusted" average number of families and children were obtained from the monthly numbers in the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY). (The "unadjusted" numbers are not necessarily the total number of families or children served in a State, because some States only report the number served by CCDF in the ACF-801 and thus report a 100-percent pooling factor but still serve additional children and families with separate State funds.) |
| 4. | For tables that report percentages, national percentages are based on the “adjusted” national counts. In other words, the national percentages are equivalent to a weighted average of the State percentages, where the weights are the “adjusted” number of families or children served as appropriate. A table with a "0-percent" indication often means the value is less than 0.5 percent rather than actually zero. In a few instances, the sum of the categories may not appear to add up to exactly 100 percent because of rounding. |
| 5. | At the time of publication, Guam and Puerto Rico had not yet reported ACF-801 data for FFY 2004. Three other Territories submitted less than 12 months of ACF-801 data; American Samoa submitted 5 months, the Northern Mariana Islands submitted 11 months, and the Virgin Islands submitted 4 months. |
| 6. | Connecticut does not report ACF-801 data on all or nearly all children served by contracted centers. Wisconsin has been reporting some children that are authorized for care but do not receive care. Nebraska has been reporting child records for some children that do not receive a subsidy if other children in the same family are receiving a subsidy. Alaska's reported population does not accurately reflect the population served by CCDF due to sampling difficulties (which the State is trying to resolve). Furthermore, Alaska does not report any children in foster care or families headed by a child. |
Notes applicable to this table:
| 1. | In some States there were no children served in unregulated settings and thus the percent is "–" since division by zero is undefined. Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin have no Providers Legally Operating Without Regulation. |
| 2. | For children served by multiple providers, the child's count is proportioned based on the ratio of the hours with each provider divided by the total hours of service. |
| 3. | For consistency with related reports involving setting data, the Invalid/Not Reported category includes children with any element of any setting identified as invalid or not reported including zero hours served, zero cost, or no setting records. |
