Methodology & sources

Demand: children under 5 by county, U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates. Supply: licensed child care providers from the Wyoming Department of Family Services, placed to counties by the state's county field; the ratio counts providers, not licensed capacity.
