Regional Data

The Upstate California Connect Consortia (UCCC) is composed of members from Colusa, Glenn and Lake Counties and led by The Geographical Information Center at California State University Chico. The consortium is focused on improving broadband availability and performance within its region through information sharing, assessment of current broadband performance, incorporation of broadband into local government planning and procedures, developing partnerships and collaborating to generate broadband infrastructure proposals, generating strategic broadband plans, and recommending policies for broadband expansion.  North State Together is proud to support these efforts as well others to help ensure broadband for all.

North State Together provides Chronic Absenteeism data for our region using data from the California Department of Education.  A “chronic absentee” has been defined in EC Section 60901(c)(1) as “a pupil who is absent on 10 percent or more of the school days in the school year when the total number of days a pupil is absent is divided by the total number of days the pupil is enrolled and school was actually taught in the regular day schools of the district, exclusive of Saturdays and Sundays.”

The Race to Submit encourages all California high schools and districts to view and track their FAFSA and CADAA completion number. The online tool helps measure the number of submitted and completed applications. This initiative aims to motivate California high schools and districts to increase application count by supporting their students with FAFSA and CADAA submission.  North State Together provides these data for our region in an easy to use dashboard.

The CCI shows how well local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools are preparing high school students for success after graduation, whether in postsecondary education or in a career.  For this reason, the CCI consists of both college- and career-readiness measures.  This flyer contains the college-readiness measures.

Number of child care spaces in licensed facilities, by type of facility.

In some facilities, the number of child care spaces is greater than the number of children who can be cared for. As a result, the number of spaces likely overestimates the quantity of child care that is available. Child care centers are facilities that provide care for infants, preschoolers, and/or school-age children during all or part of the day. These facilities may be large or small and can be operated independently by nonprofit organizations or by churches, school districts, or other organizations. Most child care centers are licensed by the California Dept. of Social Services (CDSS). In family child care homes, care for up to 14 children is offered in the home of the provider, often a parent; care is typically provided for children of a variety of ages. Family child care homes also are licensed by CDSS.
