Methodology
Calculation of Conditions for Children’s Well-being Score
A previous study by Berry and Jarrell (1999) used 1990 census tract data to calculate a
composite measure to determine geographic areas of need in Delaware. However, Berry and
Jarrell focused on the population in general. The present report sought to update and refine
the previous study by using more recent data, developing a more sensitive composite measure,
and shifting the focus to children.
The inspiration for the Conditions for Children’s Well-being Score (CCWBS) was a 2003 report
by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) and the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) entitled
The Growing Number of Kids in Severely Distressed Neighborhoods: Evidence From the 2000
Census. Although the AECF/PRB report was somewhat different and it did not include a composite score, it did use data from SF3 to measure the number of children whose well-being
was at risk in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The CCWBS is a composite measure based on the following four indicators from SF3.
1. Percent of households with related children – female headed (no husband present)
2. Percent of population below 100% of poverty
3. Percent of persons 25 and over that are high school dropouts
This formula accomplished two important goals. First, it captured the relative variation on
each indicator for each tract from the state value. Second, it standardized the variation across
indicators. In this case, a tract value that was the same as the state value would have a converted score of 25. A tract value that was higher than the state value (i.e., worse conditions)
would have converted score less than 25, and a tract value that was lower than the state value
(i.e., better conditions) would have converted score greater than 25.
less than 25 ......................................25 ....................................more than 25
worse than state average...........state average .......... better than state average
The final CCWBS for a tract was calculated by adding the converted scores across all four
indicators. Therefore, a score of 100 would be given to a tract at the state average on all
four indicators. The following is an example of the calculation of converted scores for each
indicator and the CCWBS for tract 401.
CS1 = converted score for indicator 1
CS2 = converted score for indicator 2
CS3 = converted score for indicator 3
CS4 = converted score for indicator 4
CCWBS = Conditions for Children’s Well-being Score
4. Percent of men 16 to 64 that are unemployed or not in the labor force
These indicators were selected because of their direct impact on conditions for children.
For each indicator, a higher percent would indicate worse conditions for children’s well-being.
Each of the indicators was weighted equally in the composite score. A converted score
measuring the variation of each indicator from the state value was calculated using the
following formula.
CS = converted score for the indicator
StV = state value/percent for the indicator
TrV = tract value/percent for the indicator
CS =
(StV – TrV)
x 5 + 25
StV
CS1 =
(23.1 – 15.2)
x 5 + 25 = 26.72
23.1
CS2 =
(9.2 – 11.9)
x 5 + 25 = 23.56
9.2
CS3 =
(17.4 – 32.8)
x 5 + 25 = 20.57
17.4
CS4 =
(23.4 – 23.2)
x 5 + 25 = 25.06
23.4
CCWBS = 26.72 + 23.56 + 20.57 + 25.06 = 95.91
95.9
The CCWBS is calculated by adding the converted score for each of the four indicators.
Therefore, a census tract with indicator scores of 27, 24, 21, and 25 has a CCWBS score of 97.
1 The present report and the PRB report used three of the same indicators. The only measure that was different was the measure of educational attainment. In the PRB report, the indicator teens 16 to 19 that were high school dropouts was used.
The present report used persons 25 and over that were high school dropouts.

Comparison to Delaware
A “Compared to Delaware” rating was created for each tract for the CCWBS and each of the
four indicators. The rating consists of five categories ranging from worse to better. The break
points for the categories were determined by ranking the converted scores and dividing the
ranked scores into quintiles (i.e., categories with approximately the same number of tracts).
The ratings for each tract on the four indicators and the CCWBS are shown in the second section that contains the one-page profiles. The geographic distribution of the CCWBS ratings is
shown in the maps in sections one, three, and four.
Caveat Regarding Variation in Scores
Since all the four CCWBS indicators were obtained from SF3 and SF3 data are based on a
sample of Delaware residents, the individual indicators and the final CCWBS are subject to
sampling error. In short, the indicators and CCWBS are estimates for each tract rather than
a complete census count of every resident of a tract. As a result, small differences between
CCWBS or one of its indicators in two different tracts may not be meaningful. Therefore,
comparisons of individual CCWBS between tracts are not recommended. In general, it is better
to focus on the category/quintile in which a tract(s) falls. Even among the quintiles, tracts with
scores that differed by small amounts often occurred near the break points for those quintiles.
Results

State
If conditions for children as measured by the CCWBS were randomly spread out across the
counties, it would be expected that approximately 20% of the tracts within each county would
fall in each quintile. However, the table above clearly suggests that the counties did not follow
that pattern. In order to test whether the tract ratings differed from a random distribution
within the counties, a series of chi-square goodness-of-fit tests was conducted.
In Kent County, a significantly higher number of tracts than expected were in quintile 3
(x2 = 11.767, dƒ=1, p<.01). Fewer than 12% of the Kent County tracts fell in quintiles 4
and 5 when nearly 40% would have been expected (x2 = 11.151, dƒ=1, p<.01).
In New Castle County, a significantly higher number of tracts than expected were in quintile
5 (x2 = 8.146, dƒ=1, p<.01). In fact, only one of the 39 tracts in quintile 5 was not in New
Castle County.
In Sussex County, a significantly higher number of tracts than expected were in quintile 2
(x2 = 8.146, dƒ=1, p<.01). No Sussex County tracts fell in quintile 5.
2 Since there were 196 tracts that needed to be divided over five categories, 40 tracts were assigned to the middle quintile
and 39 tracts were assigned to each of the other four quintiles.

Definition of Census Terms1
Ability to Speak English
Gross Rent
Data on ability to speak English were derived from the answers to long-form questionnaire
Item 11c, which was asked of a sample of the population. Respondents who reported that
they spoke a language other than English in long-form questionnaire Item 11a were asked to
indicate their ability to speak English in one of the following categories: ‘‘Very well,’’ ‘‘Well,’’
‘‘Not well,’’ or ‘‘Not at all.’’
2
The data on ability to speak English represent the person’s own perception about his or
her own ability or, because census questionnaires are usually completed by one household
member, the responses may represent the perception of another household member. Respondents were not instructed on how to interpret the response categories in Question 11c.
Family Type
A family includes a householder and one or more other people living in the same household
who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. All people in a household who are related to the householder are regarded as members of his or her family. A
family household may contain people not related to the householder, but those people are
not included as part of the householder’s family in census tabulations. Thus, the number of
family households is equal to the number of families, but family households may include
more members than do families. A household can contain only one family for purposes of
census tabulations. Not all households contain families since a household may be comprised
of a group of unrelated people or of one person living alone. Families are classified by type
as either a ‘‘married-couple family’’ or ‘‘other family’’ according to the presence of a spouse.
‘‘Other family’’ is further broken out according to the sex of the householder. The data on
family type are based on answers to questions on sex and relationship that were asked on a
100-percent basis.
Married-couple family. This category includes a family in which the householder and his or
her spouse are enumerated as members of the same household.
Other family:
Male householder, no wife present. This category includes a family with a male maintaining a household with no wife of the householder present.
Female householder, no husband present. This category includes a family with a
female maintaining a household with no husband of the householder present.
Non-family household. This category includes a householder living alone or with nonrelatives only.
The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 45a-d
which were asked on a sample basis. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene,
wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross
rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the
inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of utilities and
fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations.
Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in
the tabulations.
Hispanic or Latino Origin
The data on the Hispanic or Latino population, which was asked of all people, were derived
from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 5, and short-form questionnaire Item 7. The
terms ‘‘Spanish,’’ ‘‘Hispanic origin,’’ and ‘‘Latino’’ are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three
specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms ‘‘Spanish,’’ ‘‘Hispanic,’’ or
‘‘Latino’’ are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories
listed on the questionnaire — ‘‘Mexican,’’ ‘‘Puerto Rican,’’ or ‘‘Cuban’’ — as well as those
who indicate that they are ‘‘other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.’’ People who do not identify
with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are ‘‘other
Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino’’ are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying
themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All
write-in responses to the ‘‘other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino’’ category were coded.
Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the
person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People
who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.
Household
A household includes all of the people who occupy a housing unit. (People not living in
households are classified as living in group quarters.) A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room occupied (or if vacant, intended
for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the

Census Bureau. See References for the source document.

occupants live separately from any other people in the building and that have direct access
from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single
family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of
related or unrelated people who share living quarters. In 100-percent tabulations, the count
of households or householders always equals the count of occupied housing units. In sample
tabulations, the numbers may differ as a result of the weighting process.
Not in Labor Force
All people 16 years old and over who are not classified as members of the labor force. This
category consists mainly of students, individuals taking care of home or family, retired workers, seasonal workers enumerated in an off-season who were not looking for work, institutionalized people (all institutionalized people are placed in this category regardless of any work
activities they may have done in the reference week), and people doing only incidental unpaid
family work (fewer than 15 hours during the reference week).
Poverty Status in 1999
The poverty data were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 31 and 32, the
same questions used to derive income data. The Census Bureau uses the federal government’s
official poverty definition. The Social Security Administration (SSA) developed the original
poverty definition in 1964, which federal interagency committees subsequently revised in
1969 and 1980. The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) Directive 14 prescribes this
definition as the official poverty measure for federal agencies to use in their statistical work.
The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48
thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix (see below). The matrix
consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and
number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the
age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over).
To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the
poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition (see table). If the
total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then
the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is
not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income
is compared with his or her poverty threshold.

Race
The data on race, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form
questionnaire Item 6 and short-form questionnaire Item 8. The concept of race, as used by the
Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which
they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs and should not be
interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories
include both racial and national-origin groups.
The racial classifications used by the Census Bureau adhere to the October 30, 1997, Federal
Register Notice entitled, ‘‘Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on
Race and Ethnicity,’’ issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). These standards
govern the categories used to collect and present federal data on race and ethnicity. The OMB
requires five minimum categories (White, Black or African American, American Indian or
Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander) for race. The race categories are described below with a sixth category, ‘‘Some other race,’’ added with OMB approval.
In addition to the five race groups, the OMB also states that respondents should be offered the
option of selecting one or more races.

217
Related Children
Related children include the sons and daughters of the householder (including natural-born,
adopted, or stepchildren) and all other people under 18 years old, regardless of marital
status, in the household, who are related to the householder, except the spouse of the householder. Foster children are not included since they are not related to the householder.
Telephone Service Available
The data on telephones were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 41,
which was asked on a sample basis at occupied housing units. Households with telephone
service have a telephone in working order and are able to make and receive calls. Households
whose service has been discontinued for nonpayment or other reasons are not counted as
having telephone service available.
Tenure
The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from
answers to long-form questionnaire Item 33 and short-form questionnaire Item 2. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter occupied.
Owner occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the
unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit
and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is ‘‘Owned by you or someone in this
household with a mortgage or loan’’ if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other
debt arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or
purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased
land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment
loans balances are also included in this category.
A housing unit is ‘‘Owned by you or someone in this household free and clear (without a
mortgage or loan)’’ if there is no mortgage or other similar debt on the house, apartment,
or mobile home including units built on leased land if the unit is owned outright without a
mortgage.
The tenure item on the Census 2000 questionnaire distinguishes between units owned with
a mortgage or loan and those owned free and clear. In the sample data products, as in the
100-percent products, the tenure item provides data for total owner-occupied units. Detailed
information that identifies mortgaged and non-mortgaged units are provided in other sample
housing matrices.
218
KIDS COUNT in Delaware
Renter occupied. All occupied housing units that are not owner occupied, whether they
are rented for cash rent or occupied without payment of cash rent, are classified as renter
occupied. ‘‘No cash rent’’ units are separately identified in the rent tabulations. Such units are
generally provided free by friends or relatives or in exchange for services, such as resident
manager, caretaker, minister, or tenant farmer. Housing units on military bases also are
classified in the ‘‘No cash rent’’ category. ‘‘Rented for cash rent’’ includes units in continuing
care, sometimes called life care arrangements. These arrangements usually involve a contract
between one or more individuals and a service provider guaranteeing the individual shelter,
usually a house or apartment, and services, such as meals or transportation to shopping or
recreation.
Unemployed
All civilians 16 years old and over were classified as unemployed if they were neither ‘‘at
work’’ nor ‘‘with a job but not at work’’ during the reference week, were looking for work
during the last 4 weeks, and were available to start a job. Also included as unemployed were
civilians 16 years old and over who: did not work at all during the reference week, were on
temporary layoff from a job, had been informed that they would be recalled to work within
the next 6 months or had been given a date to return to work, and were available to return to
work during the reference week, except for temporary illness. Examples of job seeking activities were:
• Registering at a public or private employment office
• Meeting with prospective employers
• Investigating possibilities for starting a professional practice or opening a business
• Placing or answering advertisements
• Writing letters of application
• Being on a union or professional register
Vehicles Available
The data on vehicles available were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item
43, which was asked on a sample basis at occupied housing units. These data show the
number of passenger cars, vans, and pickup or panel trucks of 1-ton capacity or less kept at
home and available for the use of household members. Vehicles rented or leased for 1 month
or more, company vehicles, and police and government vehicles are included if kept at home
and used for non-business purposes. Dismantled or immobile vehicles are excluded. Vehicles
kept at home but used only for business purposes also are excluded.
