This metric shows the capacity for childcare divided by the population of children under 5. Values less than 100% indicate more children than available childcare, while values greater than 100% indicate excess capacity.

To view childcare centers and homes, select the dropdown menu for Community Places and tick the box next to Family Support and Parenting.

Note: The data uses multiple sources and the source categories are not an exact match, as some childcare centers accept children older than 5, but the calculation only includes population data for children 5 and under. Capacity may be higher in tract and county calculations than is shown, as our ability to assign addresses to those map shapes is limited in some cases. Additionally, of the 383 child care centers with city of Tulsa addresses, 23 were unable to be geocoded and therefore are not included in the numerator of the statistic.
