City of Dublin Child Care Profile
Families and Children
Based on the 2000 U.S. Census, Dublin had approximately 4,700 children aged birth to 12 years old,
accounting for just under 16 percent of the city’s total population. Dublin has a significantly higher
proportion of White children than the county overall. Eighty-four percent of children ages five through
17 speak English at home, compared to 63 percent county-wide. Only two percent of children live below
the poverty level, significantly less than nine percent county-wide.
Dublin children under six years old are more likely to have parents in the workforce than county overall.
Approximately 59 percent of Dublin children under six are in households headed by two working parents
or a working single parent compared to 55 percent county-wide.
Child Care Demand and Supply
Special Populations
(Gap)/Surplus
Child care demand in Dublin is similar to that of the county. Dublin families with children aged two to
four years are slightly more likely to demand family child or center-based care than county-wide.
Approximately 54 percent of children two to four demand center-based or family child care which is
similar to the 52 percent county-wide. Sixty
percent of the city’s child care supply is for
Dublin ECE Supply, 2006
preschool-aged children, resulting in a surplus of
300
over 250 slots. Conversely, Dublin has a
200
moderate gap in supply of child care for infants
100
and toddlers as well as school-aged children.

education. Only ten percent of school-age
children are English Learners (EL), meaning that
their family speaks a primary language other than English at home, and they are not yet considered to
have the requisite English skills to succeed in the school's regular instructional programs. This is
considerably lower than the county-wide EL rate of 27 percent.
