Held back for now
- Child care programs per 100,000 residents
- With 6,322 residents, this place is small enough that the people it serves and the people who live in it are not the same group, so a per-resident figure would say more about where the city limits fall than about access.

How these numbers were produced
Counts come from public records for every child care program in this area, whether or not it appears in our directory. That gap is the point: a directory that reports only on itself tells you nothing you could not see by browsing it.
Per-resident figures use a population of 6,322 from the Census Bureau (acs5-2023).
- Licensed capacity is not an open place. A program listed for infants may still have no room this year.
- Ages, schedules, and subsidies come from state licensing records, which can lag what a program currently offers.
- Care that is legally exempt from licensing, including much home and family care, does not appear in these records and is not counted.
