This book is divided into five sections:

Summary of IndicatorsState ProfilesArkansas Planning and Development District ProfilesCounty ProfilesDefinitions and Sources

The information included in the Data Book attempts to show the status of children in the state ofArkansas as measured by demographic, socioeconomic, educational, health, and safety indicators. Thedata items were suggested by the members of the Arkansas Kids Count Technical Advisory Committeewho represent various agencies that work with or provide services to the children and youth of the state.The data supplied to the Children's Data Center Project by the various state agencies came from bothpublished reports and unpublished sources and was provided in electronic format, in most instances.Even though every attempt has been made to assure the accuracy of the data, the agencies, who alsoprovided definitions and sources to cite, remain the final authority on the quality and meaning of thedata.

The state of Arkansas is divided into eight districts for planning and development purposes, and thesePDDs are used extensively in demographic and economic research. The districts group the seventy-five counties into areas in which the data samples will be large enough to develop statisticallymeaningful comparisons.

In all the profiles, the demographic section describes the population and family relationships and isdrawn from the 1980 and 1990 Census of Population. The profile for the state of Arkansas shows datafor 1990 and 1992 for all other indicators. The planning and development district (PDD) and the countyprofiles show indicators for the latest available year along with the comparable numbers for the state.The year of the data is indicated alongside the variable name and may be for 1990, 1991, 1992, or1993.

Unless otherwise noted, "children" means all children under age 18.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT LITTLE ROCK 5 ARKANSAS INSTITUTE FOR ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT


The Arkansas Consumer Sentiment Survey is a quarterly survey conducted by the Arkansas Institute forEconomic Advancement and the Arkansas Institute of Government at UALR. It has become a regularlyquoted measure of potential retail activity and is distributed among business planners and the media. Acomputer assisted telephone interviewing system is utilized with numbers generated through a randomdigit dialing software program. Approximately 400 adults throughout Arkansas are interviewed andasked questions about purchasing plans, sentiment of family financial conditions and job security, andimpressions of the overall state of Arkansas and U.S. economies. Index questions from the Universityof Michigan Index of U.S. Consumer Sentiment are a part of the interview. In addition, questions onage, sex, race, and income are asked of the respondents which are used to verify that the respondentsare representative of the Arkansas population.

The quarterly survey conducted during August 1993 included a question related to the most importantissue facing children and youth in Arkansas today. The five issues to be included in the survey questionwere developed from two group planning sessions held on May 11, 1993 at St. James United MethodistChurch and conducted by The Communications Group (Little Rock, Arkansas). The groups includedtwenty-eight individuals representing several different agencies, collaboratives, and groups dealing withchildren and youth. The response from the two groups resulted in a consensus of five issues whichwere addressed in the following question on the August survey:

"I would like to ask you one final question that will help in identifying the mostimportant issues facing children and youth in Arkansas today. I am going toread five issues of concern. Please rank these issues in order of importancewith '1' being the issue of most importance for children and youth today, and'5' being the issue of least importance for children and youth today.

Use of Drugs and/or AlcoholQuality of Public EducationRace RelationsViolence in the CommunityFamily Instability"

The results of the survey of 440 adults throughout Arkansas produced a sampling error of less than fivepercent (at a 95 percent confidence interval). The survey resulted in the following ranking of the fiveissues (with 'Use of Drugs and/or Alcohol' receiving the highest ranking as the most important issue forchildren and youth in Arkansas today).

#1 Use of Drugs and/or Alcohol#2 Family Instability#3 Quality of Public Education#4 Violence in the Community#5 Race Relations

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT LITTLE ROCK 7

Drugs and/or alcohol use was ranked as the most important issue for children and youth in Arkansastoday by 34.6% of the respondents, and as the second most important issue by 31.3% of therespondents. The percentage of respondents giving the remaining issues a #1 ranking is as follows:family instability (31.9%), quality of public education (22.7%), violence in the community (9.9%), andrace relations (1.8%).

It is anticipated that the same question will be asked on the quarterly surveys to be conducted duringfiscal year 1993-94.

The Arkansas Kids Count Technical Advisory Committee also felt that these issues are of greatimportance to children and youth today. Family instability indicators chosen for inclusion by thecommittee include the following: Percent Children in Single Mother Families, Percent Children in SingleFather Families, Percent Children with no Parent in the Workforce, Women with Youngest Child underAge 6 - Percent in the Workforce, and Percent Births to Single Teens.

Quality of Public Education indicators selected for inclusion in the data book include the following:Per Pupil Expenditures, High School Dropout Rate, Percent Enrolled in Core Curriculum Math andScience, Percent Seniors Taking the ACT Exam, Percent Seniors with ACT Scores Higher than 18, andthe Percent High School Graduates Enrolled as Freshmen in Higher Education.

Indicators representing Violence in the Community chosen for the data book include the following:Child Abuse/Neglect/Sexual Abuse Victim Rates, Teen Violent Death Rates, and Juvenile Arrest Rates.

Even though Use of Drugs and/or Alcohol is the most important issue facing Arkansas' children andyouth today (based on the survey results), valid data for this indicator is not readily available at thecounty level. Valid data concerning Race Relations was also not available to us at the county level. Agoal of The Technical Advisory Committee is to obtain data on these indicators and any other indicatorsthat may be used to portray the well-being of Arkansas' children.

Note: The summed percent of each issue being ranked as the most important is 100.9%. This is because the individual percentagesfor each issue were derived from the normalized results of the survey. The normalized results are based on the total number ofpeople who actually responded to this question, excluding respondents who refused to respond to this particular question, or who hadterminated the survey prior to this question.

DEMOG f-) A PHIC OFILE

TOTAL POPULATION: the total number of people residing in a specific geographic area asenumerated by the decennial census on April 1. A geographic area may be a city, township, county,state, nation, census tract, block group, or block.

TOTAL POPULATION UNDER 18: the total number of people between the ages of one day andeighteen years as of April 1 of the census year.

PERCENT POPULATION UNDER 18: the 'total population under 18' divided by the 'total population.'

TOTAL MINORITY POPULATION UNDER 18: the number of people between the ages of one day andeighteen years as of April 1 of the census year who are black; Asian or Pacific Islander; AmericanIndian, Eskimo, or Aleutian; or any other unspecified race (not Hispanic, since Hispanics may be of anyrace).

MINORITY PERCENT OF POPULATION UNDER 18: the 'total minority population under 18' divided bythe 'total population under 18.'

The 1990 population counts used in the Children's Data Book do not match those published in the 1990Census of Population and Housing reports and tape files. The population has been 'modified' by age,race, sex, and Hispanic origin to meet the needs of many data users, especially those involved inpopulation estimate and projection work.

In 1990 a review of the detailed 1990 information indicated that respondents tended to provide their ageas of the date of completion of the questionnaire, not their age as of April 1, 1990. In addition, theremay have been a tendency for respondents to round up their ages if they were close to havingbirthdays. It is likely that approximately ten percent of persons in most age groups are actually one yearyounger. For most single years of age, the misstatements are largely offsetting. The problem is mostpronounced at age zero because persons lost to age one may not have been fully offset by the inclusionof babies born after April 1, 1990 and because there may have been more rounding up to age one toavoid reporting age as 'zero years'. Age in completed months was not collected for infants under ageone. Therefore, the age data from the 1990 Census were adjusted to correspond with the April 1, 1990census date.

In addition, 9.8 million respondents nationwide reported their race as 'Other' on the Censusquestionnaire and were not included in one of the fifteen racial categories listed on the form. In order toserve the needs of the user community, it was necessary to assign each of these persons to a specifiedrace, and thus the race statistics were modified to be consistent with the classification used in data setsother than census.

PERCENT CHILDREN IN POVERTY: "Poverty Status" in the 1990 Census is determined from incomedata. Poverty thresholds are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix based on family size and number ofchildren in the family.

If the family income was less than the corresponding cutoff,the family was classified as "below poverty level." The number of children below poverty was the sumof all children in families below the poverty level. The percent of children in poverty was the sum ofchildren below the poverty level divided by the total number of all children in families.
