Understand and estimate
the total number of children under age
13 and those eligible for early childhood
education programs
Objective 1:
Data Sources
U.S. Census Data, 2000 and 2010 Population of Texas children ages 0-12
Texas Department of Health Birth and death rates
American Community Survey, 2006-2010 Socioeconomic characteristics of
households
Types of Results
Change in 0-12 population, 2000-2010
Child population projections to 2015 and 2040
Socioeconomic characteristics of households with children 0-12 in 2010 and projected to 2015
All results presented for: Entire state Councils of Governments Metropolitan Areas Counties
Key Population Findings
Nearly 5 million Texas children ages 0-12 in 2010
Texas child population increased by 17% from 2000 to 2010 and accounted for over 50% of total US growth
Growth expected to slow from 2010 to 2015 but still larger than growth in any other state over past 10 years
Growth concentrated within metro areas and dominated by minorities
Hispanic children were 49% of total in 2010 and projected to make up 65% of growth to 2015
1.2 million children (24.9%) were living in poverty in 2010; 1.3 million (25.4%) projected to do so in 2015
