1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Child and Family Research Institute (CFRI), in partnership with the Ray Marshall Center for
the Study of Human Resources (RMC), has undertaken the 2016 Texas Child Care Market Rate Survey as
contracted by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) via Purchase Order number 201202409.
This report summarizes child care market rate data for the entire state of Texas and for each of
its 28 local workforce development areas (LWDAs). Three types of child care facilities were surveyed
between September 2015 and March 2016: licensed child care centers, registered homes and licensed
homes. In the survey, licensed and registered homes are grouped together, but separated for analysis.
Table 1.1 below details the sample for the survey.
Table 1.1.1 Overview of Sample and Response Rate by Child Care Facility Type
Facility Type Total
Sampled Total
Eligible Total
Respondents Response
Rate*
Licensed child care centers 2624 2411 1850 76.7%
Registered and licensed child care homes
1873 1610 838 52.0%
Total 4497 4021 2688 66.8%
*Response rate is calculated by taking the number of respondents who completed the survey and dividing it by the number of facilities determined to be eligible to take the survey.
The report includes four sections, followed by several technical appendices. The first section, this
introduction, briefly describes the research methods used for this survey and provides an analytic
overview of key findings.
The second section is comprised of four sub-sections: first, statistics describing the distributions
of statewide market rates for child care are presented. Second, daily market rates for child care are
presented for each LWDA by: type of facility, age group, and full-day vs. part-day status. In addition to
the mean daily rates, the following percentiles are provided: 30th, 40th, 50th (median), 60th, 70th, and 75th.
Third, tables for each LWDA include a summary of rate data by age group (collapsed across facility types).
Finally, tables for each LWDA summarize rate data by facility type (collapsed across age groups).
The third section consists of a percentile analysis that compares data on local areas’ maximum
allowable reimbursement rates with actual market rate distributions. This section first includes a
presentation of maximum allowable reimbursement rates by LWDA by type of facility, age group, and
part- or full-day care, followed by an analysis of the percentiles at which such rates will allow
reimbursement. These analyses are presented in two groups: one for regular maximum reimbursement
4
rates, and another for maximum ‘enhanced’ reimbursement rates that may be available to certain
providers, depending on local rules.
The fourth section contains two sub-sections. The first sub section reports the percentages of
respondents offering care at non-traditional hours, and transportation services offered by LWDA and
facility type. Also included in this sub section are percentages of facilities with national accreditation and
Texas Rising Star status, as well as two similar but distinct measures of the percentage of facilities serving
any subsidized children, and the proportion of the enrolled children receiving a child care subsidy. The
second sub-section includes percentages of non-sectarian providers (non-profit and for-profit), sectarian
providers (non-profit and for-profit), and community-based organizations (non-profit and for-profit).

1.2 OVERVIEW OF STUDY DESIGN
This discussion of the study design briefly describes the sampling technique, the interview
process, and the analysis for the 2016 Child Care Market Rate Survey. A more detailed technical
description of the analytic approach for the project is supplied in Appendix A. This section concludes with
a brief analysis of trends by comparing results of this market rate survey to those of the prior year’s survey,
which was based on 2014-2015 data and completed in early 2015.
Sample of Child Care Facilities
The population of interest in this study is the priced child care market in Texas. Licensed and
registered facilities that charge families directly and do not discount rates based on prior relationships
with families are included in this study to determine child care market rates. The 2016 study sample was
drawn from a list of all 15,850 licensed and registered child care facilities provided by the Texas
Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS) in August 2015. The list included three types of
child care facilities in each of the 28 local workforce development areas (LWDAs):
● Licensed Child Care Centers (LCCCs)
● Licensed Child Care Homes (LCCHs)
● Registered Child Care Homes (RCCHs)
Head Start facilities were removed from the list prior to sampling because they do not charge
families directly. Next, a small statewide representative sample of 1,000 facilities was randomly selected
in order to 1) provide greater statistical power for estimating statewide rates and trends and 2) increase
the precision of rate estimates for the largest local boards that provide the bulk of care in the state. A
second random sample was drawn from the remaining facilities to estimate rates at the LWDA level. For
this latter sample, we chose a target number of centers and a separate target for homes from every LWDA
based on projections of the number needed to yield an average of 35 independent rate observations in
center and home full-day rate categories.1 Projections based on detailed response rates to the last three
annual surveys indicated that, on average, 77 LCCCs, 11 LCCHs, and 60 RCCHs per LWDA were needed to
reach this goal. These target numbers were then increased by between 6 percent and 14 percent for
LWDA and facility type combinations that showed low response rates in recent surveys. The target
number of facilities was then randomly selected from each LWDA, or if fewer providers were available in
any given combination of LWDA and facility type, the entire population was selected (a complete census).
Implementation of this sampling scheme resulted in all facilities of any type being selected from two
1 Starting with the 2013 survey, licensed and registered homes were combined for sampling projection and selection purposes, thus resulting in a higher proportion of registered homes being targeted, but also more in line with their greater representation among home providers statewide.

LWDAs: 12 and 27. In addition to these two, a complete census of LCCCs was necessary in 6 more LWDAs,
and a complete census of RCCHs was necessary in fourteen more LWDAs.
Before final local rates were estimated, data from the statewide sample were added to that from
the local samples in their respective areas, and the weighting schemes (for estimating statewide rates)
were adjusted accordingly. Due to changes in the estimation procedures, originally implemented in the
2010 survey and described in the small area estimation section of Appendix A, the number of rate
observations collected by this design was adequate to provide stable rate estimates for all LWDAs, without
needing to rely on rates from adjacent areas or any other kinds of estimates or approximations.
Data Collection
Detailed training and supervision was provided to research staff members on survey
methodology, interviewing protocols, data entry and collection, and tracking procedures by advanced
graduate students and the project manager.
Prior to interviews, the research staff mailed an introductory letter to all facilities in the sample
explaining the survey purpose, goals and objectives, confidentiality policies, and the voluntary nature of
participation. Information was presented in both English and Spanish unless providers’ surnames
suggested they were of Vietnamese origin, in which case information was presented in both English and
Vietnamese.
A seven-station call center at CFRI operated Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 7:00
PM. Research staff members maintained a tracking database containing basic provider information
(facility name, LWDA, phone number, facility identification number) and call history (number of attempts,
date and time of attempt, preferred calling times, appointments, call results, final status). A minimum of
two morning and two afternoon/evening calls were made to contact each provider beginning in
September 2015 and ending in March 2016. The research staff administered calls at least one week apart
unless an appointment or preferred calling time was established with a provider. In these cases, the staff
made up to three additional attempts to complete the survey.
In order to prevent any delay in data collection and increase participation, bilingual research staff
members (5 English/Spanish and 1 English/Vietnamese) conducted interviews with centers and homes.
An additional research staff member conducted interviews with all identified multi-site facilities. A
website was also constructed to present further information about the survey to providers. Finally, a toll
free number was available for providers to return missed calls, return a message, or ask further questions
about the survey.
If research staff were unable to complete the survey after all attempts had been made to reach a
provider, the facility would be marked as ‘overdialed’ and no more attempts to contact that facility would
be made. In cases where the phone number provided was disconnected or no longer in service, the
7
research staff attempted to contact the facility three times at least one week apart. If the number was
still not working and no additional information was available online, the staff determined the facility to
be ineligible.
During an interview, research staff members screened out facilities that did not represent the
true price market for child care in Texas. These facilities include those that only offered drop-in care, part-
time care with no after-school care, summer camps, care provided to specific populations only (i.e.
children with special needs, children of teen moms, children of staff at a company, etc.), and free/family-
discounted child care services. School and kindergarten programs that did not offer regular afterschool
care and Head Start programs were also excluded. Finally, facilities that had closed or no longer had
children enrolled were determined to be ineligible.
Final Call Disposition
A total of 4497 child care facilities (2624 centers and 1873 homes) were included in the sample
this year. Of these facilities, 476 (10.6%) did not meet study eligibility criteria and were dropped from the
response rate calculations. For centers, the top reasons for not meeting eligibility criteria included:
1) Drop-in care, part day program, or school with no afterschool program (26.9%);
2) Care to specific population only (20.8%);
3) Disconnected number or non-working number (17.5%).
For homes, top reasons for ineligibility included:
1) Disconnected number or non-working number (40.3%);
2) Closed or not providing care (34.6%);
3) Free/Family-discounted child care (17.1%).
Table 1.2.1 below details the eligibility of child care providers who were contacted.

The number of eligible providers is used to calculate the overall response rate. Of the 4021 eligible
child care providers, 2688 (66.8%) completed the survey. This overall response rate is consistent with the
2015 survey, and reflects the same pattern in which homes have lower response rates than centers. The
overall response rate for homes was 52.0% and the overall response rate for centers was 76.7%. Table
1.2.2 below details the final call disposition of all eligible child care facilities.

Of these, 838 (52.0%) completed interviews, 49 (3.0%) refused to complete interviews, and 11 (0.7%)
withdrew or declined to participate in the study after they began an interview. An additional five
providers (0.3%) completed only a portion of the interview. Finally, 708 (44.0%) providers were
overdialed.
CENTERS: A total of 2624 centers were sampled. Of these, 1850 (76.7%) completed interviews,
61 (2.5%) refused to complete interviews, and 4 (0.2%) withdrew or declined to participate in the study
after they began an interview. An additional two providers (0.1%) completed only a portion of the
interview. Finally, 494 (20.5%) providers were overdialed.
Measures
The Market Rate Surveys for home-based and center-based facilities covered similar topics.
However, home-based facilities provided detailed information concerning each child under their care
(age, exact schedule of care, and rate charged), whereas center-based facilities provided rates by age
group and by whether care was full-day or part-day (six hours or less per day). See Table 1.2.3 for a
summary of information collected on home-based and center-based surveys.

*Center rate data were gathered for children in various age groups, using the facility-determined age group cutoffs to set rates. These data were then collapsed into the following standard age groups for reporting: Infants (0-17 months); toddlers (18-35 months); preschoolers (36-71 months); and school age children (72 months and over).
Analytic Approach
The technical appendix provides a detailed account of the analytic approach taken in producing
the rates in this report. It is particularly important to note, however, that virtually all of the daily market
rate percentiles and other statistics presented in this report are based on large and statistically reliable
sample sizes. Even in the scarcest categories of care, such as part-day infant and toddler care in LCCHs,
and part-day infant care in RCCHs, the numbers of rates gathered were sufficient for estimating stable
rates.
Because different types of facilities tend to set their rates differently, analysis of center rates was
based on the rates for a category of care (for example, full-day care for toddlers), while the rates for home-
based care (LCCH and RCCH) were determined by the amounts charged for individual children. That is, as
mentioned earlier, in interviews with centers the researchers asked for the rates charged for a particular
10
age group following a particular schedule. In contrast, researchers asked home-based facilities for the
age and rate charged for each individual child.
After the data were collected, all rates that appeared extremely high or low (known as outliers)
were identified, and researchers individually checked each rate report and corrected any errors they
found. Subsequent to these corrections, a small portion of the most extreme outliers remaining in the
sample were corrected to remove their excessive influence on statistical measures of the rates
distributions. In addition, similar procedures were implemented to detect instances in which the number
of slots reported for a given rate was too extreme, whether too high or too low, and to correct these
extremes to more reasonable values. In general, as one might expect in a large and diverse state, extreme
rates, whether at the low or high end of the scale, were typically the result of unusual services provided
by an individual facility and/or variations in subsidies and financing rather than research error.
Analysis and Trends: Market Rates and Other Statistical Descriptions
The basic outcomes for this report are presented in two sections: the first provides the child care
rates; the second describes the prevalence of services and financial and organizational arrangements
among child care facilities. Several interesting trends emerge from this analysis.
The data and analysis in this report are voluminous. The primary tables of daily child care market
rates that form the next section of this report give seven statistics for each of four age groups in each of
two schedule types (part-day and full-day) in three types of facilities for each of the 28 LWDA Boards.
These data yield a total of 4704 statistics. It is likely that in such a massive report, some anomalies will
emerge in the numbers. A systematic analysis was done of all possible comparisons looking for common
rate anomalies, such as when an older child rate significantly exceeds the corresponding rate for a younger
child, or a part-day rate exceeds the corresponding full-day rate. However, with the changes to the
estimation method beginning with the 2010 survey (see small area estimation, Appendix A), none of these
types of anomalies are present.
A comparison of the daily market rates reported in this 2016 survey to those observed in 2015
reveal several interesting trends that are evident on a statewide level.2 Overall, across facility types and
age groups, median daily rates increased by about 3.9 percent during this period, or about $0.77 per day,
when compared to 2015 median daily rates. This rate of increase is fairly typical, as rates often increase
from around two to five percent per.
2 Median rates are compared over time as the better measure of central tendency, though higher percentiles may be deemed more appropriate for rate-setting. Comparisons were made of all 672 median rates (28 areas multiplied by 24 rate categories) reported in this survey versus the same rates from the prior annual survey, and are weighted to be representative of care provided on a statewide basis.
11
This increasing trend in rates from the prior year’s report to this report is the result of combining
slightly greater increases among Homes with slightly lesser increases among Centers:
In Licensed Child Care Centers, median rates increased by an average of 2.5 percent, or about $0.55 per day.
In Licensed Child Care Homes, median rates increased by an average of 4 percent, or about $0.78 per day.
In Registered Child Care Homes, median rates increased by an average of 5.1 percent, or about $0.96 per day.
Changes in the market rates varied slightly by age groups of the children served:
Median rates for infants increased by an average of 2 percent, or about $0.44 per day.
Median rates for toddlers increased by an average of 6.1 percent, or about $1.28 per day.
Median rates for preschoolers increased by an average of 3.2 percent, or about $0.59 per day.
Median rates for school aged children increased by an average of 4.6 percent, or about $0.77 per day.
Daily rates for full-day care did not increase as much as rates for part-day:
Median full-day rates increased by an average of 3 percent, or about $0.66 per day.
Median part-day rates increased by an average of 5.2 percent, or about $0.88 per day.
Finally, comparing rates across regions, continuing a trend seen in prior years, parts of the DFW
area (including North Central Texas, LWDA 4; and Tarrant County, LWDA 5) and the Austin region
(including Capital Area, LWDA 14; and Rural Capital, LWDA 15) have the most expensive child care in the
state. Rounding out the fairly expensive care group are local boards covering most of the remaining large
metro areas of the state, including Alamo (LWDA 20), Gulf Coast (LWDA 28), and Dallas (LWDA 6) are not
far behind in terms of high rates. The least expensive care in the state is in Lower Rio Grande Valley (LWDA
23), with Cameron County (LWDA 24) and other areas of the Rio Grande Valley not far behind.
12
Other trends noted in previous surveys were again evident in 2016. For a number of years now a
short supply of part-day infant care, as well as part-day care in general, has been noted in most areas of
the state. As an illustration of this trend, the following figures show percentages of facilities surveyed
that offer part-day care for each of four age groups. These are shown for each of the last ten annual
market rate surveys.3
Figure 1.2.1 Share of Centers Offering Part-Day Care over Time
Figure 1.2.1 illustrates these trends for Licensed Centers. This figure makes it clear that part-day
infant and toddler care are the most difficult to find. Furthermore, as will be seen below, these low rates
of availability are the best the market offers to those needing part-day care, as availability among homes
is worse. Shares of centers offering part-day preschool or school age care have fluctuated over time, but
since around 2009 a clear trend toward greater availability of part time care for these older children is
seen in centers.
3 Survey was not conducted in 2008. No other years were skipped, but a change in the naming convention in 2015 to reflect the year the survey was completed, rather than begun, makes it appear that 2014 was skipped.
13
Figure 1.2.2 shows these trends over time for Licensed Homes. Part-day care in licensed homes
was scarce even at its peak in 2005, with fewer than ten percent of facilities offering such care to children
of any age. After continuing a more or less downward trend since then, availability of part day care in
licensed homes is still quite low as of 2016, at less than five percent of facilities.
Figure 1.2.2 Share of Licensed Homes Offering Part-Day Care over Time
14
Figure 1.2.3 illustrates trends in availability of part day care in registered homes, which is quite
low but slightly better than licensed homes. As with the other facility types, greater shares of registered
homes have been offering part-day care for older children in the last few years. Aside from this slight
bump, the generally low availability of part-day care seen across the market persists among registered
homes as well.
Figure 1.2.3 Share of Registered Homes Offering Part-Day Care over Time
Due to this generally low availability of part-day care, it is difficult to gather sufficient rate data to
estimate stable part-day rates for all areas. Appendix A describes efforts to estimate part-day rates in
some categories of care in licensed and registered homes with the least availability of part-day care.

3.1 PERCENTILE ANALYSIS
Maximum reimbursement rates in effect for Local Workforce Development Areas (LWDAs) in May
2016 for the various categories of child care were compared to the distributions of daily market rates
gathered in this 2016 survey to determine at what percentile of the market such maximum rates would
provide access. Similar comparisons were made for maximum enhanced rates, or the highest rate a local
board will reimburse for care in facilities that, for example, receive more stars on the Texas Rising Star
scale, or whatever other criteria are used locally to assign enhanced rates. Exact percentiles at which
access is provided, whether for regular reimbursement or maximum enhanced rates, are listed for all
categories of care in the tables below.4
Several clarifications are in order. First, it should be noted that these percentiles at which access
to care is potentially available should not be confused with percentiles at which care is reimbursed.5
Second, it is possible that confusion could arise regarding the interpretation of several instances in these
tables in which access to care is listed as the zero percentile. In these instances, the maximum
reimbursement rate was found to be the same as or below the lowest rate gathered in the survey for that
type of care.
General trends in the level of access potentially provided are presented below. Overall, across
care types, facility types, age groups, and local boards, maximum reimbursement rates were found to
provide access to the 34th percentile of market rates, while maximum enhanced rates provide access to
the 50th percentile.6 These market access numbers indicate slightly reduced market access at regular
maximum rates, and slightly greater market access at maximum enhanced rates, as compared to the same
figures documented in the last annual survey.
As shown in the following table, among facility types access is better for licensed homes, at the
36th percentile of the market for maximum regular rate, and the 66th percentile for maximum enhanced
rates. For centers and registered homes, access is provided at the 31st to 35th percentile for regular
maximum rates, and the 43rd to 49th percentile for maximum enhanced rates.
4 Maximum reimbursement rates in effect in May 2016 for Local Workforce Development Areas (LWDAs)
5 To estimate the percentile at which care is reimbursed, corrections would need to be made for reimbursement below the maximum, as well as differential weighting of more common and rarer forms of care.
6 Note that in statewide and other comparisons that estimate trends across rate categories, averages are taken with all categories weighted equally, rather than according to how frequently such care is utilized.

Licensed Child Care Homes $19.15 36 $24.07 66
Registered Child Care Homes $17.95 31 $19.91 43
Part-day care and full-day care were found to be potentially reimbursed at about the same
percentiles, indicating roughly equal market access, as shown in the table below. It should be noted,
however, that there is greater uncertainty surrounding market rates for part-day care. In many facilities,
part-day care is not offered at all, and in most areas it can be difficult to find.

Part-day $16.90 34 $19.28 50
Percentiles of the market rates to which maximum reimbursement rates potentially provide
access were also found to vary by age groups of the children served. In terms of percentiles at which
reimbursement is possible, the greatest market access should be for infant rates, however, as with part
time care, infant care can be very difficult to find.

Finally, reimbursement percentiles varied by LWDA. The table below lists the percentiles of
market rates to which maximum reimbursement rates potentially provide access by LWDA. Following
that, detailed tables list maximum reimbursement rates and market rate access by facility type, age of
child, and LWDA, for both regular rates and maximum enhanced rates.

APPENDIX A. DATA ANALYSIS
It is important to note that all of the daily market rate percentiles presented in this report are
based on large and statistically reliable sample sizes. Even in the scarcest categories of care, such as part-
day infant and toddler care in Licensed Homes, and part-day infant care in Registered Homes, the numbers
of rates gathered were sufficient for estimating highly stable rates, due to innovations in the estimation
methodology described below.
Levels of Analysis
Project researchers summarized the survey data and conducted analysis at several distinct levels.
The most basic analyses were done at the level of individual providers. These results document the
proportion of providers responding to the survey that offer various services (e.g., non-traditional hours,
transportation), or that fall into different administrative categories (e.g., sectarian, community-based, and
for-profit). The exception to this rule is the item in section four that measures the “percent of enrollment
that is subsidized,” which is analyzed at the level of the individual child. A similar item concerns the
percentage of facilities that serve any subsidized children. When this number is higher than the “percent
of enrollment” number, it indicates that the subsidized children in an area are widely dispersed among
facilities, and when it is lower, it indicates that the subsidized children are relatively concentrated among
a smaller number of facilities in the area.
The remaining analyses were conducted at either the rate observation level or at the level of the
child care slot, as described below. Each center or home-based facility can contribute more than one rate
observation to the analysis, and each rate observation can represent more than one slot. However, the
nature of this relationship depends on the type of facility.
Daily market rates for licensed centers were gathered for all categories of care offered, regardless
of whether any children were currently being served in such categories. The categories consisted of all
possible combinations of age group (gathered for actual age categories in which each center offered rates,
but aggregated to the four standard categories for reporting) by full-time status (part-day or full-day).
Thus, one center could contribute as many as eight independent rate observations, each representing any
number of children (including zero). These rate observations were then weighted by the number of child
care slots they represent (described below) when calculating market rate percentiles.
In contrast, market rates for home-based facilities, including registered homes and licensed
homes, were gathered at the level of the individual child currently being served. Each child’s age, detailed
weekly schedule, and rates charged were gathered for purposes of calculating daily market rates. In this
case, the individual children were treated as independent rate observations, and each facility could
contribute as many as nine observations (or fewer depending on the facility type and number of children
enrolled). Because of this, there was no need to differentially weight the rate observations when
A-2
calculating the local market rate percentiles for home-based facilities: each child (or rate) received a
weight equal to one.
For the analysis of center rates, the number of child care slots for each rate category was
determined in one of two ways. First, for categories of care in which children were currently being served,
the number of children in each category served as a proxy for the number of slots. Second, rate categories
in which no children were currently being served were also included in the analysis, since they were also
theoretically part of the market. This was done by estimating the number of slots for each of these rate
categories with a formula that multiplies the number of children served at each facility by the average
proportion of children, across all licensed centers, served in each rate category. Thus, for example, a
facility that served 100 children and had an existing part-day infant rate schedule, but did not currently
serve any part-day infants, would have its number of slots for this category of care estimated at two (100
child capacity X 2 percent of children served in the part-day infant category across all licensed centers). If
the same facility served no part-day preschoolers, its number of slots would be estimated at seven (100
child capacity X 7 percent served in this category across all licensed centers). This method allows fuller
use of the rate information gathered, especially for rare forms of care in which rate observations were
otherwise scarce.
Statewide Estimation
For statistics conducted at various levels of analysis, special procedures were necessary in order
to compute statewide versions of the tables. Due to the fact that smaller areas were over-sampled for
this survey (meaning that facilities in these areas were more likely to be selected for the survey), a
correction had to be applied in order to estimate statewide rates without over-representing facilities in
these smaller areas. Similarly, it was also necessary to apply a correction because of over-sampling of
Licensed Homes, which are much less common than centers or Registered Homes. The correction involves
computing weights that, when applied to the statewide analysis, equalize the probability that any given
facility or rate might have been selected at random.
The calculation of weights for statewide estimation varies slightly depending on the level of
analysis: facility level or rate level (see preceding discussion). For facility-level analyses, the weight is the
inverse of the probability of selecting the facility at random. Thus, for small areas in which all facilities
were selected, the weight would equal one. For larger areas in which, for example, 20 percent of facilities
were selected, the weight would equal five (1 divided by 0.20). When these weights are applied to any
given statistical analysis, the facility with a weight of five would count five times as much as the facility
with a weight of one, and the result would be representative of the state as a whole. Similar procedures
are used for the calculation of statewide rates, except in this case it is more complicated because each
rate must be weighted according to its share of the statewide child care slots.
A-3
Small-Area Estimation
In many smaller LWDAs and for some exceptionally rare rate categories (particularly part-day care
in homes) the number of rate observations would have been too small to estimate stable rates using
traditional methods, even for the many areas in which the entire universe of facilities had been sampled.
For this reason, an estimation methodology first developed for the 2010 survey was used. Using this
approach, parameters are estimated that fully characterize the distribution of rates in each category of
care. These parameters are then applied, using an assumption of normality of the rate distributions, to
estimate each rate percentile of interest. The primary advantage of this solution is that a medium to large
sample size of rates is utilized to estimate each parameter, and thus the estimates based on this
methodology are more stable over time, and they fall into the expected patterns more frequently.
Prior to any estimation of parameters, the daily rates themselves are first transformed to make
them assume a more normal distribution. This transformation is done by taking the positive square root
of the daily rate. The effect of this is to minimize the effect of high-end outliers on estimates of the
parameters of distributions7. This transformation is reversed later, following all estimation, by squaring
the rates. The next step in the estimation of parameters involves estimating area effects, the average rate
for each LWDA, while statistically controlling for all other features of the rates involved in the estimation
(including facility type, age group, and rate type). The average rates for all 28 LWDAs are listed in Table
A-1. Note that North Central Texas (LWDA 4) has the highest rates, and Lower Rio Grande Valley (LWDA
23) has the lowest rates in the state.
7 High rates have greater influence on estimates of the distribution of daily rates due to the simple fact that rates cannot go below zero, but there is no effective upper limit. Square root transformation mutes this influence.
A-4
Levels of variation among rates in each area, as indicated by the standard deviation measure, are
also listed for LWDAs in the last column of Table A-1. Note that those areas with the highest average rates
also tended to have greater variation or spread among rates. Note also that the average level and spread
of rates in each LWDA was estimated with 160 or more rate observations. Thus these parameters are
estimated with a high level of precision.
The next step involves estimating the typical patterns among rates of varying facility type, age
group, and rate type, while holding constant the area effects measured above. This estimation was done
using one model for licensed centers that included independent predictor variables for each of the eight
combinations of age group and full-day vs. part-day rate. A second model was used to estimate these
parameters for all homes combined, but in addition to the eight variables, a ninth variable was included
that coded for whether it was a Licensed or Registered Home. Results of this estimation are shown in
Table A-2. In this case the typical rates are shown in standard deviation units. Thus the first row of Table
A-2 can be interpreted to mean that full-day infant rates tend to be roughly a full standard deviation
higher than the average rate.

A-7
Note that in almost all cases the number of observations in Table A-2 is more than sufficient for
estimating the patterns among rates to a high degree of precision. The only exceptions to this are for
certain categories of part-day care in homes. As discussed in the analysis and trends section of the main
paper, persistently low shares of facilities offering part-day care are responsible for the low numbers of
rates in these categories. As a solution to this shortfall, the number of rates in six of these categories
was bolstered by including six rare categories of part-day home rates from the 2015 survey, adjusted
with an inflation factor to make them comparable to 2016 rates. These six categories are shown in
Table A-2 with the total number of observations in bold, and the number incorporated as estimates
from 2015 rates in parentheses. With these additions, this should be just enough to estimate stable
rates in most cases.
Finally, the 28 area effects from Table A-1 are recombined with the 24 rate type effects from
Table A-2 to estimate the parameters (mean and standard deviation) of the distributions of all 672
categories of care in the full report. Using these parameters together with known properties of normal
distributions, one can then estimate percentiles of the rate distributions for all categories of care. As
described above, these figures are then squared to undo the transformation described above. On the
whole, the resulting percentile estimates were found to be much more stable over time, in comparison
to estimates made for small areas using the methodology of market rate surveys prior to 2010.
