Note: Enrollment is for children from birth through age 12 in October 2022, except for California Community College CalWORKs Stage Two, which reflects a California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office estimate for the fall 2022 school term.

Native American, multiracial, and unspecified race categories collapsed due to data limitations.
