The income inequality in Sacramento County (measured using the Gini index) is 0.497,which is higher than the national average. In Head Start, since one-parent households are largelysingle moms, the lower-income affects their ability to pay for affordable child care.Effective January 1, 2020, the minimum wage in Sacramento Countyis $13.00 per hour. A one-parent household, working full-time atminimum wage, with one child would make too much money to qualifyfor subsidized services. The gap will only widen as the minimum wagecontinues to increase in 2021 to $14.00/hour and in 2022 to$15.00/hour. These increases will continue to reduce eligibility andaccess to high-quality subsidized care and education for families;burdening them to find alternative options but without thecomprehensive services Head Start is known to provide.Cost of Living in Sacramento CountyThe cost of living index is based on a U.S. average of 100.
