| NOTE: Table reflects data collected in Phase 3.3, weeks 41–42 (December 29, 2021, through February 7, 2022). Survey item: "At any time in the last 4 weeks, were any children in the household unable to attend daycare or another child care arrangement as a result of child care being closed, unavailable, unaffordable, or because you are concerned about your child's safety in care? Please include before school care, after school care, and all other forms of child care that were unavailable. Select only one answer: (1) Yes, (2) No, (3) Not applicable." Data only include households with children who answered "Yes" or "No." Households with children who answered "Not applicable" were excluded from the denominator. The revised 1997 U.S. Office of Management and Budget standards on race and ethnicity were used to classify persons into one of the following five racial groups: White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, or Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. Those reporting more than one race were classified as "Two or more races." Data on race and Hispanic origin are collected separately. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Included as "Other, non-Hispanic" but not shown separately are American Indian or Alaska Native and "Two or more races," due to the small sample size. | |
