- 100 * (infant_center_price / tuition_and_required_fees - 1)
- Finding
- PF01 30.8% arithmetic confirmed for equal-state method; magnitude depends on method. Comparison is price scale, not same service or same household population.
- Limits
- Tuition is published public four-year in-state tuition and fees, before student aid, excluding living costs.
- Childcare prices are not necessarily household payments after subsidies.
- Do not replace infant-center price with the $13,184 overall mixed-setting and age average.
- NCES 1980–2023 tuition growth remains unchecked; two direct web fetches timed out.
