4. GIS in Prevention, County Profiles, Series 3 (2006) 6.27 Children in Homes with No Parent Present CSAP defines this risk indicator as the children living in homes with neither parent. It calculates this indicator as a rate (the sum of children living in a household headed by a male or female not the parent plus children living in group quarters divided by the sum of all the types of home circumstances in which children might live, times 100). The following table shows only the percent of all households with children that are headed by a non-family member. The figure for this county is compared to the state and the nation.
