    CPI 1.1 Texas Child Population (ages 0-17) by County 2014-2023

    data.texas.gov | Last Updated 2024-01-30T20:42:33.000Z

    As recommended by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to ensure consistency across all HHSC agencies, in 2012 DFPS adopted the HHSC methodology on how to categorize race and ethnicity. As a result, data broken down by race and ethnicity in 2012 and after is not directly comparable to race and ethnicity data in 2011 and before. The population totals may not match previously printed DFPS Data Books. Past population estimates are adjusted based on the U.S. Census data as it becomes available. This is important to keep the data in line with current best practices, but may cause some past counts, such as Abuse/Neglect Victims per 1,000 Texas Children, to be recalculated. Population Data Source - Population Estimates and Projections Program, Texas State Data Center, Office of the State Demographer and the Institute for Demographic and Socioeconomic Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio. Current population estimates and projections data as of December 2020. Visit dfps.texas.gov for information on all DFPS programs.

    Strategic Measure_EOA.C.6 Number and percentage of residents that are living in an area considered to be a Complete Community

    datahub.austintexas.gov | Last Updated 2024-03-26T17:39:18.000Z

    A resident in a complete community is someone residing in an area that is within a 20 minute walk to multiple essential destinations. Calculation method: This study measured the distance and time it takes for a pedestrian to reach five essential destination, or "indicators," from any point across the city using the existing network of sidewalks and crossings within a 20-minute walk time. Using GIS software, this evaluation resulted in a rasterized overlay of geographic outlines of “walksheds” surrounding each indicator destination. Residential estimates were found using an internal database of residential housing units and applied density assumptions and should not be compared to other demographic datasets. Data was sourced from City of Austin, CapMetro, and Austin ISD. View more details and insights related to this data set on the story page: https://data.austintexas.gov/stories/s/rw4g-mrjp

    Program Budget Operating Budget Vs Expense Raw Data

    datahub.austintexas.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-13T11:59:22.000Z

    City of Austin current budget fiscal year Operating Budget showing budget versus expenditures. This budget is at the Fund, Department, Unit level. This data set includes a build date and will be updated on a quarterly basis. The data contained in this data set is for informational purposes. Certain Austin Energy budget items have been excluded as competitive matters under Texas Government Code Section 552.133 and City Council Resolution 20051201-002. The comparison of actual expenditures to budget may appear inconsistent. That is because base wages for personnel are fully budgeted in the expense categories regular wages—full-time, regular wages—part-time or regular wages—civil service. The budget does not assume expenditure levels for the various leave categories, such as sick pay, vacation pay, or jury leave. However, actual expenses for various leave categories are recorded based on timesheet coding. The result is that actual expenditures for regular wages are spread across multiple expense categories while the budget is shown in one expense category. Personnel savings is budgeted to account for the likely savings in personnel costs generated through attrition. However, the savings is realized in the expense categories regular wages—full-time, regular wages—part-time and regular wages—civil service. Therefore, the actual expenditures in the personnel savings expense category will always be zero.
