Developed in Association with the
Food Research and Action Center
Child and Adult Care Food Program Mapper
This interactive map was developed for local groups who need highly detailed
(street-level) census information to identify neighborhoods and communities for Child and Adult Care Food Program sites.
The default map shows percentage themes for the population under age 13 and below the
185% poverty level. Additional maps include census data on English proficiency as well as race, ethnicity and income. Change maps by clicking the drop-down menu items under
"Compare Maps" on the left.

New 6/06:
Added a Find menu item to the Google base map (also available via the FairData pop-up FIND form -- refresh search form window if not displayed).This is an
alternative way to search for addresses, with clickable links back to the FairData map. See GMap
Help for additional details.
Click here to view the map and form. You can save the
results returned by Google with the hyperlinks intact -- just copy and paste to a Microsoft Word document. (Right click, Edit, Open Hyperlink)
There will be instances where the FairData geocoder is correct and the Google geocoder is not and vice-versa. Also note that
the Google geocoder places an address found marker on the street centerline rather than the 25 foot offset used by FairData's geocoder. This makes it difficult to determine whether
an address is in a particular block group where the street is the dividing line.

Click on the FIND button to zoom to a place. Click on the INFO tool and then click on the map for census data for the various geographic layers. Poverty
data and the USDA program specific census data is about midway down the table in the lower portion of the pop-up window. Percentage calculations are at the end the table. Or click
on ZOOM TO and then click on the map -- relevant CACFP data for the block group selected will appear in a table below the map. Note:
Block Group FIPS code --labels (green) at 5 miles or less in Maps 1 & 17 only (option to turn
on).
School district boundaries (thin green lines -- elementary and unified) and associated census data can be viewed beginning at a scale
of about 200 miles using the DISPLAY option. Check the box to the left of "School District" underneath the map image, then click "Redraw". For dataset details, see National Center for Education Statistics.

Note that unlike the other maps, this thematic map subdivides the 40% to 60% range into 40% to 50% and 50% to 60% -- facilitating the
identification of potential open site areas where at least 50 percent or the under age 13 population is eligible for free or reduced price school meals.
At a scale of about 5 miles, counts for the under 13 population below the 185% poverty level are displayed in purple boxes.

Map 14 -- Population Under 19 Below 185% Poverty Level
Note that unlike the other maps, this thematic map subdivides the 40% to 60% range into 40% to 50% and 50% to 60% -- facilitating the
identification of potential open site areas where at least 50 percent of school age children are eligible for free or reduced price school meals.
At a scale of about 5 miles, counts for the under 19 population below the 185% poverty level are displayed in purple boxes.
The block group level 185% poverty dataset can also be viewed via the USDA Summer Food
Map Machine. Consistent with the USDA dataset and Map Machine, students under 19 in group housing are included in the 185% counts.

be downloaded from the link at the end of this page.

Nationwide block group poverty data (Maptitude-compatible, comma delimited, field labels are in .dcc file) (zipped file 2 megabytes) -- 2000 census
Nationwide block group Summer Food (under 19) and CACF (under 13) below 185% poverty
data (Maptitude-compatible, comma delimited) (zipped file 1.5 megabytes) -- 2000 census Note: This dataset is based on a special file prepared by the Census
Bureau for the USDA Summer Food and CACF Programs. It includes persons in group housing in the population and poverty count. Therefore, this dataset is not directly comparable
to other poverty counts reported in the SF3 dataset.
