Childcare prices are derived from each state’s childcare Market Rate Survey. Prices are median yearly prices for one child at the market rate. Childcare prices are based on the 2016-2018 data collection cycle and are presented in 2018 and 2022 real dollars using the CPI-U for child care (day care and preschool in the U.S. city average). Economic and demographic data are obtained from the 2014-2018 American Community Survey to correspond to the 2016-2018 childcare price data. (author abstract)
