Community Profile

The indicators on this page are available at local, state and national levels, and are some of the most commonly used data. Additionally, the concepts behind these particular indicators tend to be general in nature. Due to these attributes and others, this pre-selected set of indicators makes for an ideal baseline profile. A baseline helps provide a socio-economic frame of reference for our local community relative to other geographic areas.

Unemployment: Annual Average Rate

Labor force, employment and unemployment are defined by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The labor force includes people who are employed and those without a job who are actively looking for work and available for work. People who are not working or actively looking for work are not part of the labor force. Labor force and unemployment statistics are based on a survey sent to civilians in the US who are aged 16 and older living outside of institutions. The survey is not sent to people who live in institutions like corrections facilities or nursing homes. The survey is not sent to people on active duty in the Armed Forces.

Median Income - Family Households

Median (midpoint) income for family households, including those with and without children. Family households include two or more individuals related by birth, marriage or adoption. Family income is the preferred measure of economic wellbeing in university communities like Columbia and Boone County, since the majority of the student population resides in non-family households. Household income (i.e. including both family and non-family households) is artificially low due to the student population.

(end citation). Notes from Data Source: Data accessed on November 21, 2022. Child Care Aware® of Missouri works in partnership with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education - Office of Childhood to compile data on child care programs. Since child care programs change frequently, the Office of Childhood should always be contacted for the exact number of licensed programs and licensed capacity data (https://dese.mo.gov/childhood/child-care/find-care). Child Care Aware® of Missouri tracks data on licensed child care, early learning, and after-school programs across the state, as well as early learning and after-school programs that opt-in to regulations or list referrals to families. Child Care Aware® of Missouri recognizes that there are groups of preschool, child care, and after-school programs that may not be captured in these totals because they are not required to provide information about themselves to any authority. Child care facilities operated by religious organizations, and facilities that serve each child for no more than four hours a day are required by statute to be inspected but are exempt from licensure. Family child care homes that serve six or fewer children and child care provided by public or private K-12 education are some examples that are not subject to regulation.

Gini Index of Income Inequality

The Gini Index is a measure of income inequality ranging from 0 to 1. A value of 0 represents perfect income equality (everyone has the same income); a value of 1 represents complete inequality (one person has all the income and others have none). Warehouse data is updated twice a year and is as up to date as the data source when published.
