In A Nutshell… The number of young children missed in the Decennial census is large, growing, and the consequences are serious Young children are missed for different reasons than adults; we need to count young children differently than we count adults Advocates are working nationally, and in states and localities, to improve the count Funders can play several roles in improving the count of young children and protecting their investments

Being Counted Helps Young Children Thrive Stronger political representation: federal, state, county and School Board districts More funding for key kids programs: more complete Census data can increase funding for some programs (Medicaid, CHIP, foster care, adoption, child care) average in 37 states is $1200 lost per year per uncounted person States lost over a half billion a year from the young child undercount from just five programs More equitable distribution of funds: When total federal funding is capped, Census data often determines who gets it (Title 1, Special Ed, CCDBG, Head Start expansion funds) Better planning: school size, health facilities, private enterprise Better information for 10 years on child well being: Census data provides 10 of 16 indicators used in yearly KIDS COUNT report

Census Undercount of Young Children Is Large and Growing

One in 10 Young Children were Missed in the 2010 Census Source: Hogan and Griffin 2016

Source: O’Hare 2015, Chapter4

Why Are Young Children Missed In The Census?

When Children are Missed: What We Know So Far Four out of five children are missed because they are left off the roster More likely to be missed if they live in complex households, particularly when the person filling out the form is not their parent Fear and confusion about including young children Children have hard to count characteristics such as living in a rental Areas where kids are at high risk of being missed: Many children of color, Many linguistically isolated households, Many grandparent householders, or Many children not related to the householder

Efforts to Count All Kids Count All Kids Committee Count All Kids Campaign

Counting Young Children: What Works Adults are usually missed because they don’t return the form Census Bureau targets low response areas Messaging around returning the form Young children are usually missed when they are left off the form Developing maps showing where kids are often left off Conducting message research Developing outreach tools to persuade families to count children Working with Census Bureau to get them to conduct outreach around young children

Count All Kids Committee: National Complete Count Committee For Young Children Working with the Census Bureau to improve their strategies and connect them with key partners Coordinating national awareness efforts Engaging national networks that work with families of young children

Count All Kids Campaign Supports state and local efforts to Form Complete Count Committees, including priority on counting young children Work with Complete Count Committees to build plans prioritizing young children, and use message tested outreach materials Encourage providers to use our outreach materials with families with young children

Complete Count Committees Promote Census Participation

Supplemental Data on the Undercount of Young Children

Family Structure: Two out of Three Children Missed Lived in Complex Households Missed kids: 16% lived in an address that wasn’t included in the census 16% the only person missing in a housing unit that was “enumerated” (counted) 68% missed along with some other members of a household Much more likely to be missed when the person filling out the form isn’t their biological or adopted parent (but 73% of those missed were the child of the householder) Complex households can be Multi-generation households Extended families Multi-family households

Fear and Confusion Some respondents may not want to report their child to the government General distrust of government 1.8 million children age 0-4 (6.4 million age 0 to 17) are living with at least one undocumented parent and the addition of citizenship question may be a problem Some young children are living with a grandparent in restricted housing unit Some respondents think the Census Bureau does not want children included in the Census 15 percent of people in a NALEO study said they would not include their young child or didn’t know if they would

Other Factors: Many Have Hard-To-Count Characteristics

Who Should be Engaged in Direct Outreach to Families Schools Child care centers Faith communities Medical providers (including hospitals) Government agencies Services such as WIC Libraries Businesses ?
