Rhode Island Head Start Programs, children enrolled on October 1, 1996; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Region 1, Administration on Children, Youth and families, and Rhode Island Department of Human Services INRHODES Data Tapes, December 1, 1996. Core Cities are Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport and Central Falls. | ||||
|
Estimated number of eligible children is based on the number of 3 and 4 year old children in families receiving AFDC on December 1, 1996. Core Cities are Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport and Central Falls. | ||||
|
The denominator is the number of children ages 3 and 4 who lived in families receiving AFDC on December 1, 1996. This is an underestimate of children eligible, because it does not include children eligible for Head Start who live in non-AFDC families living below the poverty line. Therefore, the actual percentage of eligible served is likely to be lower than shown here. | ||||
