ECONOMIC SECURITY

Addison County had a median household income nearly10% higher than the state median of $45,695. More than 1 in 4 public school students were approved for School Meals Programs, compared to 3 in 10 statewide. 9.7% of children received Food Stamp benefits, compared to 13.7% statewide. Rates of Food Stamp enrollments and students approved for School Meals have both increased since 2000—which may be related to increased child poverty as well as improved outreach. 42.2% of children were enrolled in Dr. Dynasaur/Medicaid—or nearly 3 in 7—slightly less than the state average of 43.6%.
With the exception of poverty and median income estimates, all rates and counts are based on three-year averages. For example, the year 2005 represents the average of 2003-2005. 1 2006 data unless noted otherwise. School Meals data are for 2007, and New Families at Risk data are for 2004. 2 Since the estimates are not based on direct counts, county data should not be compared. Smaller population areas have wider confidence intervals and should be used with caution. For more details and cautions, see: http://www.census. gov/cgi-bin/saipe/saipe.cgi. The 2005 Federal Poverty Threshold was $19,806 for a family with two adults and two children. 3 Dr. Dynasaur, Vermont’s public health insurance program for children and pregnant women. 4 The Reach-Up Program is Vermont’s version of TANF, the federal Temporary Aid to Needy Families Program. 5 Public school students approved for free and reduced-price Federal School Meals. 6 Percentage of first births to unmarried women under 20 with less than 12 years of education.

HEALTH

Between 2000 and 2006, the population of children in Addison County declined by 9.2%. Babies with low birth weight—under 5.5 pounds—are at risk of respiratory conditions, cognitive and developmental delays, and long-term conditions. In Vermont and nationwide, this problem has been increasing steadily. The Healthy Vermonters 2010 objective is to reduce the percentage to 5.0%. Addison County’s rate increased to 5.9% of all live births, up from 4.9% in 2000. Teen birth rates were 11.9 per 1,000 teen girls aged 15-19, a decrease of 12% from 2000. The percent of pregnant women receiving prenatal care within the first trimester was 88.9%, compared to the Healthy Vermonters 2010 objective of 90%.
All health rates and counts are based on three-year averages. For example, the year 2005 represents the average of 2003-2005. Rates based on small counts should be used with caution. Such rates may change significantly from one period to the next—even if the actual count only increased from 1 to 2. 1 Children ages 0-17 as percent of total population. 2 Pregnant women who seek early prenatal care (within first trimester), per 100 live births. 3 Infants weighing less than 5.5 pounds at birth per 100 live births. 4 Infant deaths less than one year of age per 1,000 live births. 5 Child deaths per 100,000 children ages 1-14. 6 Teen deaths per 100,000 youths ages 15-19. 7 Young Teen Births refer to mothers ages 15-17; All Teen Births refers to mothers ages 15-19. Rates are per 1,000 females of the same age.
