A Message from Dr. Karen DeSalvo, Health Commissioner, City of New Orleans and

Charlotte Parent, Deputy Director, New Orleans Health Department

In keeping with the City of New Orleans and New Orleans Health Department’s mission of improving child health

and wellbeing, we are pleased to present Child and Family Health in New Orleans, a report which will allow our

community to better understand child and family wellbeing at a neighborhood level in New Orleans. Earlier this

year, our department convened the Children and Families Coalition in effort to improve child and family wellbeing

in New Orleans through data-driven decision making and policy development. This report is in response to the

Children and Families Coalition’s request for neighborhood-level data to describe child and family wellbeing in

each of New Orleans’ distinct 72 neighborhoods.

In 2013, the Kids Count Data Center ranked Louisiana 46th out of 50 states for child wellbeing. Similarly, in 2012,

America’s Health Rankings ranked Louisiana 49th for each of the following: children in poverty, infant mortality,

and low birth weight. According to Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana, Orleans Parish is ranked 49th out of

64 parishes in terms of the level of risk young children experience. Not only are these poor health rankings true at

the state and parish levels, but they are also true at a neighborhood level. The reality in New Orleans is that health

outcomes, particularly for children, vary significantly amongst neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has its

individual set of risk factors and protective factors that either impede or support a child’s wellbeing.

The City of New Orleans and our partnering agencies are committed to enabling local stakeholders to better

promote, strengthen, expand, develop, and implement appropriate services, programs and projects for families in

appropriate neighborhoods. In doing so, we can ensure that every child may achieve his or her full potential. We

owe this to our children.

Sincerely,

Karen B. DeSalvo, MD, MPH, MSc Charlotte Parent, RN, MHCM

Introduction

Background In February 2013, the New Orleans Health Department and Healthy Start New Orleans invited leaders from 18

local and state agencies that work with New Orleans families to join the newly developed Children and Families

Coalition under the direction of New Orleans Health Department Deputy Director, Charlotte Parent. The aim of this

coalition is to determine if there are gaps in services available to New Orleans families and how to address those

gaps employing the Life Course Perspective. The Life Course Perspective posits that an individual’s health is

dependent on his/her health, psychological, economic, education, social, and community environments from the

point of conception through the grave. Each event or environment a person experiences at any stage from the

point of conception forward is connected to and can affect the next stage of life—either positively or negatively.

This perspective emphasizes that risk factors undermine an individual’s ability to achieve and maintain optimal

immediate and future health, while protective factors support an individual’s health and can help diminish the

effects of risk factors. Thus, for a person or a community to experience optimal health, s/he/it must reduce risk

factors and enhance protective factors across the health, psychological, economic, education, social and community

sectors.i

Another segment of the first Children and Families Coalition meeting was dedicated to showing how community

members’ perceptions of the risks most affecting their lives are different from the risks the Coalition members

identified as the most pressing.1 This presentation sparked dialogue regarding how we, as service providers, have

to provide or facilitate services that may extend beyond our sector area to truly promote children and family

wellbeing. In order to provide or facilitate these services, agencies must be familiar with dominant risk and

protective factors at a neighborhood level. These risk and protective factors must be plotted and understood

throughout the life course, starting before conception of a child.

The necessity to understand the dominant risk factors that are present at a neighborhood or family level before a

child is born to improve child wellbeing is further substantiated by the Perinatal Periods of Risk assessment

completed by Louisiana Vital Records and Health Statistics. The assessment analyzes all births and infant deaths

from 2006-2010 and shows that the excess mortality rate for feto-infant mortality was 3.7 per 1,000 live births. Of

those 3.7 excess deaths, 2.9 of them (78 percent) were attributed to poor maternal health and/or prematurity.

CityMatCH (who originally developed the idea for Perinatal Periods of Risk) suggests improving preconception and

prenatal health and promoting and supporting holistic healthy lifestyles in families and neighborhoods as the best

methods to improve maternal health and prematurity, and thus reduce the rate of infant mortality.ii

The Children and Families Coalition members are in agreement that there are a variety of risk and protective

factors that affect the wellbeing of a child. They also recognized the lack of data for risk and protective factors at a

neighborhood level. For this reason, the New Orleans Health Department and Healthy Start New Orleans

developed this report. This report takes into account input from community members about the risks they are

experiencing and input from the Children and Families Coalition and pairs it with studies such as Perinatal Periods

of Risk, Life Course Indicators developed by the Association for Maternal and Child Health Programs, and Early

Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana to develop a database of New Orleans-specific neighborhood-level life course

indicators most indicative of children’s level of wellbeing. 1 A Venn diagram depicting these differences can be found in Appendix 6

mnn


The risk and protective factors outlined in this report include data regarding mothers’ and families’ wellbeing as

ways to indicate the child’s wellbeing and likelihood to have the best chance at life. The report includes a

neighborhood comparison of 12 risk factors and six protective factors as methods to indicate the wellbeing of a

family and/or a young child in the neighborhood. These 18 indicators span across the health, economic, education,

social and community domains. Child and Family Health in New Orleans incorporates risk factors defined by

LSU/Tulane Early Childhood Policy and Data Center, Life Course Indicators identified by the Association for

Maternal and Child Health Programs, indicators used by the Kids Count Data Center, along with additional Children

and Families Coalition-designated risk and protective factors available on a census tract level so that the data can

be translated into neighborhood-level data.

Methodology The methodology and layout of this report is based on the Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana report

developed by LSU/Tulane Early Childhood Policy and Data Center in the Fall of 2012, which compares the risk

factors children are experiencing on a parish level. Child and Family Health in New Orleans contains data for 18

risk and protective factors from health, education, economic, community, and social sectors that help describe the

anticipated wellbeing of children five years and under in each New Orleans neighborhood. Table 1 lists the risk

and protective factors measured in this report.

For each indicator, all New Orleans neighborhood boundaries with available data are broken into quartiles

according to how the neighborhood compares to other neighborhoods in the city. For risk factors, the quartiles are

as follows: high risk (4th quartile), moderate-high risk (3rd quartile), low-moderate risk (2nd quartile), and low risk

(1st quartile). Neighborhood protective factors are compared in the same way but with the following categories: no

protective factor, low protective factor (4th quartile), moderate-low protective factor (3rd quartile), high-moderate

protective factor (2nd quartile), and high protective factor (1st quartile). Additionally, an average quartile score of

all risk factors is calculated, as is an average score for all protective factors in each neighborhood. To create a

composite score for each neighborhood, the risk score is subtracted from the protective score. Based on the

composite score, each neighborhood is placed into one of four risk categories: high risk, moderate-high risk, low-

mnn


moderate risk, or low risk.

This report defines New Orleans neighborhoods in accordance with healthynola.org and the Greater New Orleans

Community Data Center (GNOCDC).2 Many of the indicators are available at a census tract level and census tracts

can be combined to be made into neighborhood-level data. This report uses the neighborhood census tracts based

off the 2010 U.S. Census3.

Summary The goal of Child and Family Health in New Orleans is to provide information about risk and protective factors

affecting child wellbeing to local project developers and grant applicants so that appropriate resources can be

administered to the appropriate neighborhoods. This informed distribution of resources aims to nurture the

protection, promotion, and improvement in health of all children so they can achieve their full potential. According

to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are approximately 26,131 children aged five years and living in 72 neighborhoods in

Orleans Parish. This report finds that when all New Orleans neighborhoods are compared to each other, using the

previously described 18 cross-sectoral measures, 36 neighborhoods are in a moderate-high or high risk category.

This suggests that these particular neighborhoods may require a higher level of services and/or be in need of

interventions to create a safer and more supportive environment to ensure that children can reach their full

potential. These 36 higher risk neighborhoods account for approximately 54 percent of the children in New

Orleans ages five years and under. Table 2 breaks down how many neighborhoods and what percentage of New

Orleans children five years and under fall into each risk category.

Table 2: Children 5 Years and Under in Each Risk Category

18 30.6 7,883

Moderate-High Risk 18 30.9 7,967 High Risk 18 23.5 6,054

While this report highlights 36 neighborhoods as being higher risk environments for young children, it is

important to note that this report also found that nearly every neighborhood has a high level of risk in at least one

topic when compared to other neighborhoods. Only eighteen neighborhoods are not calculated to have a high risk

level in any category. Those eighteen neighborhoods are: Algiers Point, Audubon, Broadmoor, City Park, Dillard,

East Riverside, Freret, Garden District, Irish Channel, Lakewood, Lower Garden District, Marlyville, Navarre, New

Aurora, Old Aurora, Touro, West Riverside, and Whitney. At the other end of the spectrum, there are 21

neighborhoods that did not receive a low risk rating for any single risk factor. Those 21 neighborhoods are: Read

Ward, Hollygrove, Holy Cross, St. Anthony, Desire Area/Development, Mid-City, Central City, Little Woods,

Leonidas, Plum Orchard, Gert Town, and Tulane-Gravier. While all neighborhoods have some form of protective

factor, 20 neighborhoods do not have any indicators that fall into the highest protective category.

In addition to defining high risk neighborhoods, compiling data sets for each indicator also allowed for exploring

potential correlations between indicators. Some of the strongest correlations are found in combination with the

percentage of mothers who gave birth in 2011-2012 who are unmarried. The correlations suggest that unmarried

mothers are at higher risk of low birth weight babies, having children in poverty, and not having a high school

diploma. Similarly, unmarried mothers are more likely to have a low median household income. A chart with all

correlation coefficients for all indicators can be found in Appendix 2.

These statistics are not designed to be conclusive; rather, they are designed to guide agencies as they develop and

implement projects and services. This report is in its first edition; at this point, it is designed to grow and evolve as

professionals gather more information about what indicators best describe and predict the wellbeing of a child

over the life course and the best method to measure those indicators. A list of indicators agencies have expressed

interest in measuring but are not included in this report can be found in Appendix 9. In future editions of this

document, New Orleans Health Department and Healthy Start New Orleans would like to supplement the data sets

and rankings with suggested policy and intervention methods to propel legislation and policies that will protect,

promote, and improve the health of children and families in New Orleans.

Limitations The data for risk factors and protective factors are pulled from a variety of sources. However, a large portion of the

data is collected from the American Community Survey (ACS) at a census tract level, and the census tracts are

combined to provide neighborhood-level data. ACS provides census-tract level data on a five year basis; thus New

Orleans neighborhood-level data can only be tabulated every five years. Due to the lapse in time between

reporting periods, this report is meant to serve more as an informative baseline guide for agencies and can serve as

a medium-term or long-term mechanism for monitoring changes in neighborhood health and wellbeing.

Additionally, there are sometimes large margins of error in ACS data at the census tract level. Because of this,

comparisons and conclusions should be made with caution, as perceived differences may not be as substantial

when margins of error are considered.

The team developing the report is still defining the best ways to measure child and family wellness in a

neighborhood with measurements that are available at such a small scale. This report serves as the preliminary set

of measures of what is hoped to become an ongoing, consistent and reliable set of indicators that accurately

portray children’s health at a neighborhood level. Appendix 9 outlines ideas for future indicators to measure at a

neighborhood level if the information becomes available.

Format SECTION 1 This section begins with a summary of the findings of each of the sector area rankings. Following the summary,

each page defines a risk or protective factor and describes why the factor was selected and where the data was

found. Each risk or protective factor divides New Orleans neighborhoods into quartiles. The fourth quartile always

represents the highest risk or the lowest level of protection. It is important to note that the neighborhoods are

only being compared to other New Orleans neighborhoods with available data. To gauge how neighborhood rates

compare to parish, state and national rates, you can view the parish, state and national rates in the “Points of

Comparison” table for each indicator when data is available.

SECTION 2

The second part of the report provides neighborhood snapshots of each neighborhood, outlining each

neighborhood’s rates and rankings for each risk and protective factor. The top right corner of the snapshot

displays the neighborhood’s average quartile ranking for all protective factors—the protective score—and an

average quartile ranking for all risk factors, which is called the risk score. The composite score is the difference of

subtracting the risk score from the protective score. These snapshots also include basic demographic data and a

map of the neighborhood boundaries. The neighborhoods are listed in alphabetical order.

SECTION 3

This section ranks each neighborhood according to its protective score, its risk score, and its composite score. The

neighborhoods are then divided into overall quartiles of risk and protection according to these scores.

SECTION 4

The fourth part of the report is a series of appendices that include the following:

Appendix 1: Risk and Protective Factors with Neighborhoods in Alphabetical Order Appendix 2: Correlation between Factors Appendix 3: Formulas and Data Sources for Measuring Indicators Appendix 4: GNOCDC Map of Neighborhood Boundaries Appendix 5: Census Tracts for New Orleans Neighborhoods Appendix 6: Venn Diagram Comparing Identified Concerns for New Orleanians Appendix 7: Number of Children 5 Years and under in Each Neighborhood Appendix 8: Summary of Quartile Rankings Appendix 9: Possible Future Indicators

Section 1: Individual Risk Factors and Protective Factors This section begins with a summary of the findings of each of the sector area rankings. Following the summary, each page defines a risk or protective factor and describes why the factor was selected and where the data was found. Each risk or protective factor divides New Orleans neighborhoods into quartiles. The fourth quartile always represents the highest risk or the lowest level of protection. It is important to note that the neighborhoods are only being compared to other New Orleans neighborhoods with available data. To gauge how neighborhood rates compare to parish, state and national rates, you can view the parish, state and national rates in the “Points of Comparison” table for each indicator when data is available.

Summary of Sector Area Rankings HEALTH RISK

Percent low birth weight and the number of new HIV positive cases make up the two risk factors in the health sector. 22 out of 73 neighborhoods (30 percent) were categorized as high risk for at least one of the two indicators. Holy Cross, Florida Area, and Seventh Ward neighborhoods were categorized as high risk for both indicators. HEALTH PROTECTION

The only indicator for health protection is neighborhood geographic proximity to healthcare. 19 neighborhoods (26 percent) are categorized as having no protective factor, which means there is no primary care or behavioral health center within the neighborhood boundaries or in any adjacent neighborhoods. Eleven neighborhoods (15 percent) were categorized as high protective factor, meaning the neighborhood has both primary care and behavioral health centers either within the neighborhood or at least one service in the neighborhood and the other in an adjacent neighborhood. ECONOMIC RISK

Economic risk is defined by five indicators: median income as a percent of the Federal Poverty Line, housing cost burden, percent of children living in poverty, unemployment rate, and percent of families not receiving food stamps who live under the Federal Poverty Line. Fifty-six percent or 40 neighborhoods are in the high risk category for at least one of the economic risk factors; 25 of those 40 (thirty-five percent of all 72 neighborhoods) are in the high risk group for more than one economic risk factor. St. Claude and St. Roch are in the high risk category for every indicator of economic risk. ECONOMIC PROTECTION

The only indicator for economic protection is access to public transit, which is measured as the rate of households with no private vehicle compared to the number of public transit vehicles passing through the neighborhood each day. Three neighborhoods: Lake Catherine, Desire Development, and Florida Development do not have public transit pass through the neighborhood, and thus, on this scale, have no economic protection. EDUCATION RISK

The percent of mothers who gave birth from 2011-2012 who have less than a high school diploma is what is used to gauge education risk. EDUCATION PROTECTION

Two indicators are used to measure education protection: percent of three and four year olds enrolled in preschool and the number of childcare facilities per 100 children ages 5 years and under. One neighborhood (Iberville) are considered to have no protective factor or low protective factor, whereas the data suggests that two

mnn


neighborhoods—City Park and Black Pearl have high protective scores for both indicators. SOCIAL & COMMUNITY RISK

For the purposes of this report, social/community risk is defined by the rate of homicides per 100,000 residents,

percent of births to unmarried women from 2011-2012, teen birth rate, and the number of blighted properties.

Twenty neighborhoods (28 percent) are listed as high risk for at least two of the indicators. Seventh Ward, St.

Roch, Florida Area, and Lower Ninth Ward are listed as high risk for all four social/community risks.

SOCIAL & COMMUNITY PROTECTION

The percent of households with children under the age of 18 years who are run by married couples is the sole

social protective factor measured. The indicator selected for community protection is the acres of green space per

1000 residents. Fourteen neighborhoods (19 percent) have no recorded community green space—either in the

form of parks or community gardens.

Low Birth Weight Risk Factor

The percent of low birth weight births is a risk factor identified and monitored in Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana at a parish level and by Kids Count Data Center at a state level. Low birth weight refers to babies weighing less than 5.5 pounds or 2500 grams at birth. “Historically, low birth weight babies have been at increased risk for infant mortality, neuro-developmental impairments, growth failure, behavior problems, and chronic health problems. In recent decades, low birth weight babies have had increased survival, but many of the other adverse outcomes have not been comparably mitigated.”iii

The percent of low birth weight babies was determined through combining census tract birth data the Louisiana Office of Public Health collected from birth certificates for births in 2011 and 2012.

New HIV Positive Cases Risk Factor

HIV can be passed to the fetus during pregnancy or through breastfeeding. Because approximately 18 percent of HIV positive individuals do not know they are infected, early detection and intervention is essential to prevent transmission from mother to child.iv The number of new HIV positive cases in each zip code can help guide efforts to promote early detection of HIV.

The number of new HIV positive cases is provided by the Ryan White HIV/Aids Program at the zip code level. Since the data is not aggregated at a census tract or neighborhood level, the zip codes are ranked according to the number of new HIV positive cases they had recorded in 2012. Each zip code also includes a list of all the neighborhoods or portions of neighborhoods that belong to that zip code.

Proximity to Primary Care and Behavioral Health Centers Protective Factor

The number of primary care and behavioral health centers available in a neighborhood and/or surrounding neighbor-hoods is a protective factor and a basic indicator showing how geographically accessible health care services are. Hospitals are not included in this rating system because hospitals typically offer more specialized services. The facilities included in this protective factor are open at least 35 hours per week and are open to anyone and everyone. The location of primary care and behavioral health centers is taken from a map developed by the New Orleans Health Department in 2013. PC=Primary Care Center

Median Income as a Percent of the Federal Poverty Line Risk Factor

The median income as a percent of the Federal Poverty Line is a risk factor identified and monitored in Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana. Median income is linked with the risks of housing cost burden and the percent of children under 18 living in poverty. Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana explains that the median income as a percent of the Federal Poverty Line is a different mechanism to measure poverty that is less affected by very high or very low incomes in a geographic area. In addition to the economic burdens and stresses experienced by a family that approaches or falls below the Federal Poverty Line, there is a parallel education achievement gap between low income and high income families. “Today, the gap in family incomes is associated with a 30-60 percent larger difference in educational achievement than it was for children born in the 1970s.” v The median income for each census tract was reported in the 2007-2011 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates report on Median Household Income. The median household income is calculated as a percentage of the average of the 2007-2011 Federal Poverty Lines for a household of three.

Housing Cost Burden Risk Factor

Housing cost burden is defined as families having to spend 30 percent or more of their household income on housing. Housing cost burden is considered a risk factor for family health because spending over 30 percent of household income on rent or home payments can create financial hardship. With a limited income, paying a high percentage of income on housing may not leave enough money for other expenses, such as food, transportation and medical expenses. Moreover, high payments reduce the proportion of income a household can allocate to savings each month.vi The housing cost burden is recorded from the rates reported on the Healthy NOLA Neighborhoods database by the Louisiana Public Health Institute. Their data is reported for the years 2007-2011 from the American Community Survey.

Children Living in Poverty

Risk Factor

The percent of children ages 0-5 years living in poverty is a risk factor identified and monitored in Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana. Unfortunately, there is no available data recording the poverty rate for children 0-5 years at a neighborhood level in Orleans Parish; however, there is data regarding the poverty rate for children under the age of 18 years. For this reason, the percent of children under 18 living in poverty is selected in the place of children ages 0-5 years. This is the same risk factor monitored at a state level by the Kids Count Data Center. These children “…are at higher risk for grade repetition, learning disability, experiencing violent crime, lead poisoning, and emotional problems. Stress stemming from poverty can directly impact a child’s mental, emotional and behavioral health through the chronic activation of biological stress mechanisms and/or their immune systems. Children who grow up in extreme poverty are more likely to remain in extreme poverty as adults.”vii This risk factor is recorded from the Healthy NOLA Neighborhoods database by the LPHI, whose data is taken from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.

Unemployment Risk Factor

The percent of the population unemployed is a risk factor identified and monitored in Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana. It is also an indicator identified by the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs in their Final Set of Life Course Indicators. Unemployment recognized as a risk factor because unemployed individuals are more likely to have mental distress and experience depression, anxiety, or loss of self-esteem. Parental unemployment can lead to an increase in family stress, especially when a child is very young. This has been shown to result in long-term implications on academic achievement, entry into the workforce, problematic behavior, and the quality of parenting.viii The percent of the population unemployed in each New Orleans neighborhood is compiled by combining census tract unemployment rates in their respective neighborhood. The census tract unemployment rates were reported in the 2007-2011 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates report on employment status.

Not Receiving Food Stamps Risk Factor

The percent of each neighborhood population that does not receive food stamps but lives below the Federal Poverty Line (FPL) is a newly developed risk factor. The risk factor is intended to suggest which neighborhoods have an underutilization of federal benefit programs for which families are eligible. Although low income levels associated with receiving federal benefits put increased stress on a family and children, federal benefit programs such as Head Start, SNAP, WIC, and school feeding programs have helped improve the health and cognitive development of children.ix Data for this risk factor is taken from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates for Food Stamps/SNAP Report. The report aggregates data according to the number of families in the neighborhood not receiving food stamps and the number of families not receiving food stamps who live below the FPL. The main eligibility requirement to receive food stamps is that a household’s net monthly income must be below the FPL. By showing the percentage of families who are not receiving food stamps but are still below the poverty level, the table demonstrates the percentage of the population that is most likely eligible to receive food stamps but are not receiving them.

Access to Public Transit Protective Factor

Access to public transit is selected as an economic protective factor because when transit systems are efficient, they provide economic and social opportunities and benefits, such as better accessibility to employment. When transit systems are deficient in terms of capacity or reliability, they can have an economic cost, such as reduced or missed opportunities and lower quality of life.x

There are no existing datasets dedicated to measuring access to public transit at a neighborhood level. Therefore, a new measure was designed for this report. The Greater New Orleans Community Data Center provides the percentage of the households in each neighborhood that do not have a private vehicle; these estimates are based off the 2006-2010 American Community Survey. The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority publishes the time tables for each bus/streetcar route. From these data sets, the frequency public transit passes through each neighborhood was calculated by using a neighborhood boundaries map. The rate reported to assess public transit access is the number of households without a private vehicle per public transit vehicle that passes through each neighborhood over a 24-hour-period on weekdays.

Births to Women with Less than a High School Education Risk Factor

The percent of mothers with less than a high school education is a risk identified and monitored in Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana. Maternal education is strongly related to child achievement, immunization, poverty and long-term outcomes. It is one of the most prominent risk factors for disparities across cognitive, health and social-emotional outcomes that appear in the first 24 months of life. The financial stress from low income due to lack of education can affect the quality of parenting, the mother’s level of stress and maternal mental health, all factors which are associated with behavior problems and poor achievement in preschoolers.xi

The percent of mothers with less than a high school education in each New Orleans neighborhood is compiled by combining census tract birth data the Louisiana Office of Public Health collected from birth certificates for births in 2011 and 2012.

Preschool Enrollment Protective Factor

The premise for identifying the percentage of children 3-4 years old who are enrolled in preschool as a protective factor is taken from Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana, which monitors the percent of children in publicly funded pre-K, Head Start, or high quality child care. Although this specificity of data is not available at a census tract level, the percentage of children ages 3-4 enrolled in preschool is available. When preschool programs are of high quality, positive effects have been documented into adolescence and adulthood. The impacts of high quality early care and education include: increases in school readiness, entry into the workforce, earnings and academic achievement, and a decrease in crime. Studies of the economic impact of such early care and education interventions range up to a seventeen to one return on the initial investment.xii We recognize that the quality of the preschool is a determining factor of the positive effects it may have on a child, and for this reason, this protective factor is still under development as we work to determine a more accurate measure for the percent of 3-4 year-olds attending quality preschools, not just preschool. The percent of children ages 3-4 years enrolled in preschool was reported in the 2007-2011 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates report on school enrollment.

Childcare Facility Availability Protective Factor

Similar to the percentage of children ages 3-4 years enrolled in preschool, the idea for the protective factor regarding the number of childcare facilities per 100 children ages five years and under in each neighborhood is based on Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana, which monitors the percent of children in publicly funded pre-k, Head Start, or high quality child care. As mentioned previously, this type of data is not available at a census tract level. However, there is data available regarding the number of childcare facilities available in each New Orleans neighborhood, which helps depict how geographically accessible the childcare centers are. Parents’ ability to enroll their child in childcare is dependent upon access, availability, and affordability. Limited access to childcare facilities creates a greater number of parents who cannot seek employment, which may lead to lower income, higher stress levels, and less socialization for the child. High quality childcare is linked to increased vocabulary in the 5th grade and higher cognitive-academic achievement at age 15.xiii

The number of childcare facilities per 100 children five years and under was calculated by using Healthy NOLA Neighborhoods and the neighborhood age breakdowns provided by GNOCDC through using 2010 Census data. Healthy NOLA Neighborhoods lists the available childcare facilities in each New Orleans neighborhood.

Homicide Rate Risk Factor

The homicide rate per 100,000 people was identified by the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs as an indicator in the Life Course Metrics Project. Infants and toddlers who witness violence within the home or community tend to show excessive irritability, immature behaviors, sleep disorders, emotional distress, fear of being alone, and regression in toileting and language. Exposure to trauma interferes with a child’s development of trust and later exploratory behavior. It has also been noted that young children show symptoms similar to post traumatic stress disorder, including repeated re-experiencing of the traumatic event, avoidance and numbing of responsiveness.xiv

The homicide rate for each neighborhood is reported by the Louisiana Public Health Institute Healthy NOLA Neighborhood site as the rate per 1,000 people; however, since homicide rates are typically listed per 100,000 people, the rate listed at healthynola.org is multiplied by 100. The data represents information collected from 2010-2012 by the New Orleans Police Department.

Births to Unmarried Women Risk Factor

The percentage of births to single mothers was both identified as an indicator in the American Association of Maternal and Child Health Final Set of Life Course Indicators and as a risk factor in Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana. According to the risk and reach report, “Single mothers have a higher risk of having adverse birth outcomes such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant mortality than are children born to married women. Unmarried mothers generally have lower incomes, lower education levels, and greater dependence on social assistance than do married mothers. Children born to single mothers are more likely to have instability in living arrangements, live in poverty, have social and/or emotional problems, and by adolescence have lower educational attainment.”xv At this point, the only data available at a neighborhood level is the percent of births to unmarried women, which we understand is not synonymous with single mothers. In the future, we would like to refine this measure so that it only measures single mothers.

The percentage of births to unmarried mothers is calculated through combining census tract birth data the Louisiana Office of Public Health collected from birth certificates for births in 2011 and 2012.

Teen Births Risk Factor

The percent of births to women under the age of 20 years is based on the risk factor identified and monitored in Early Childhood Risk and Reach in Louisiana and identified by the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs in their Final Set of Life Course Indicators and by the Kids Count Data Center. “Approximately 50 percent of teen mothers receive a high school diploma by the age of 22 compared to approximately 90 percent of women who had not given birth during their adolescence. Poor child outcomes associated with teen parents include developmental delays, intellectual deficiencies, and behavior problems. Children of teen mothers are more likely to drop out of high school, have more health problems, be incarcerated at some point during adolescence, and become a teen parent themselves.”xvi Usually the rate of teen births is calculated as the number of teen women who gave birth divided by the total number of teen women in a population. Due to limitations in data, for this report, teen birth rate is calculated as the percent of births in each neighborhood to women under the age of 20 years compared to the total number of births in each neighborhood. The data for this report was gathered by the Louisiana Office of Public Health from birth certificates dated 2011-2012.

Blighted Properties Risk Factor

The number of blighted properties in a neighborhood was selected as a risk factor because of the growing concern brought up about blight by citizens at the Mayor’s Annual Community Budget Meetings. Community members view blight as a danger and eyesore in their neighborhoods. Reducing the number of blighted properties is a priority for New Orleanians and influences how safe they feel in their communities.

The calculations for blighted properties are copied directly from Greater New Orleans Community Data Center’s (GNOCDC) “New Orleans Blight Reduction Timeline” report for the year 2012. GNOCDC generated the report using data from the US Postal System data.

Married Households Protective Factor

The percent of households with children under the age of 18 years that include married couples is selected as a protective factor because marriage is associated with better opportunity and healthier home life for a child. “[Children in] two-parent families have a higher standard of living, receive more effective parenting, experience more cooperative co-parenting, are emotionally closer to both parents, and are subjected to fewer stressful events and circumstances” when

compared to children who do

not live in two parent families.xvii

As more data becomes available,

we would like to include

households that may not be

married but still are two-parent

households.

Data to calculate this

indicator was gathered from the

2007-2011 American

Community Survey 5-Year

Availability of Green Space Protective Factor

Public areas and green

spaces are protective factors for

individuals and a community’s

health. This indicator helps

gauge whether residents have

access to spaces to exercise and

play. People engaging in an

active lifestyle have a reduced

risk of many serious health

conditions including obesity,

heart disease, diabetes, and high

blood pressure. In addition,

physical activity improves mood

and promotes healthy sleep

patterns. People are more likely

to engage in physical activity if

their community has facilities

which support recreational

activities, sports and fitness.xviii

This is particularly important for

children who are recommended

to get at least 60 minutes of

rigorous exercise three days per

week. xix Additionally, pregnant

women are recommended to get

2.5 hours of exercise per week.xx

Healthy NOLA

Neighborhoods database lists

the acres of park space and

Section 2: Neighborhood Snapshots This section provides neighborhood snapshots of each New Orleans neighborhood. The snapshots include basic demographic information for the neighborhood4, a table with all the risk and protective factors for the neighborhood, and a small map of the neighborhood boundaries5. In the top right corner of the snapshot is a set of three scores. Figure 1 below explains what each of the scores means. These scores are used to assess and compare the overall level of risk or protection in each neighborhood.

Figure 1: Explanation of Neighborhood Scores

4 All demographic information is taken from GNOCDC Neighborhood Data Profiles.

5 The maps are taken from Google Maps and are to serve as a general frame of reference for the location of the neighborhood. The boundaries may not match up exactly with what is defined by GNOCDC.

Equals the difference when the risk score is subtracted from the protective score. The higher this score is, the more protective a neighborhood is; the lower this score is, the more risk children in the neighborhood experience.

Appendix 2: Correlation between Factors

Table 3 on the following page lists the correlation coefficient for each combination of risk and protective factors.

The strongest positive correlations are highlighted in blue, and the strongest negative correlations are highlighted

in red. The closer the correlation coefficient gets to 1 or -1, the stronger the relationship the two factors have. As

the number approaches positive 1, it means that as factor A increases, factor B also increases. As the number

approaches negative 1, it means that as factor A increases, factor B decreases; they have an inverse relationship.

The highest positive correlations are highlighted in blue and occur between the following six sets: Homicide Rate

and Mothers with Less than a High School Diploma (correlation of 0.69); Unmarried Mothers and Mothers with

Less than a High School Diploma (0.79); Children in Poverty and Mothers with Less than a High School Diploma

(0.74); Children in Poverty and the Homicide Rate (0.69); Unmarried Mothers and the Rate of Children in Poverty

(0.73); and Unmarried Mothers and Low Birth Weight (0.70). The three highest negative correlations exist

between the following: Children in Poverty and Median Income (correlation of -0.63); Median Income and Mothers

with Less than a High School Diploma (-0.67); and Percent of Unmarried Mothers with Median Income (-0.75).

Appendix 9: Possible Future Indictors

Table 4 outlines risk and protective factors from health, economic, education, social and environmental domains

for which members of the Children and Families Coalition have requested neighborhood-level data and/or are

indicators used by the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs as Life Course Indicators. The indicators

listed below were not included in the current version of this report due to limitations in the availability of

neighborhood-level or census-tract level data. In the future, some of the desired indicators may be measurable.

For this reason, the New Orleans Health Department asked for input from Children and Family Coalition members

about where these new datasets could possibly be found; the potential data sources are included in the table.
