** Point Prevalence: Rate of annual number of children in DFPS legal responsibility in Fiscal Year 2013 per 1,000 children in the child population.
*** Substitute care and foster care include children ages 0 to 20. Children age out of DFPS legal responsibility at age 18 but may remain in foster care. Youth ages 18 and over who are in foster care are counted in subtitute care.

**** Relative Care means any type of relative placement including relatives who have been verified as foster parents and relative caregivers who are not verified foster parents.
