2015 United Way of Tarrant County
Community Assessment
Findings from the 2015 United Way of Tarrant County
Community Assessment are being used by United Way,
its partners and many other community organizations
to diagnose tough problems and find solutions. Only by
working together, with the broad community involvement
of individuals, organizations and businesses with a
common focus, can we hope to make improvements.
This booklet builds on data from the United Way of
Tarrant County Community Assessments completed in
2009, 2012 and 2015 and incorporates 2010 Census
data along with statistics from reliable national, state
and local sources to provide a decade-long retrospective.
In between census years, the U.S. Census Bureau
releases estimates, survey data and analytical reports
from the American Community Survey that are updated
yearly on the American FactFinder
(http://factfinder.census.gov).

OVERVIEW
THE ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Many people in Tarrant County lead comfortable, prosperous,
optimistic lives. Working together has made a difference on
problems that have been a high priority for community leaders,
such as homelessness, juvenile crime, gangs, AIDS and teen
pregnancy.
Since the decade 2000-2010, Tarrant County has continued to
be one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation as new
businesses, individuals and families moved to the area. A vibrant
economy, low cost of living, and no state income tax have attracted
people from other parts of the country and the world.
The work represented in this publication serves as a “snapshot
view” of the 2015 United Way of Tarrant County Community
Assessment. It is meant to provide data, information and scope to
issues in our community and can be used by:

ABOUT US
United Way of Tarrant County is committed to
improving our community. In 2009, the organization conducted
extensive market research and found key community issues that
were challenges for residents within the county. These issues
were in the areas of education, income and health, which are the
building blocks for a good, quality life.
In 2010, we partnered with organizations, city and county
governments, churches, community leaders and volunteers
to embark on a mission to improve Tarrant County through
measurable results.
To create local solutions that would have a lasting impact, 10-year
bold goals were set for 3 initiatives: LEARN WELL, EARN WELL and
LIVE WELL. Through evidence-based strategies with measurable
milestones, we’re working to make a significant impact by the year
2020. Learn more at www.unitedwaytarrant.org
LEARN WELL:
Help 8,000 students at risk of dropping
out to graduate on time by the year 2020
EARN WELL:
Assist 24,000 low-income families to
get on the path of financial stability by
the year 2020
LIVE WELL:
Improve the lives of 17,000 older adults
with ongoing health concerns such as
Alzheimer’s disease and Diabetes.

PEOPLE
1. Tarrant County and Texas had tremendous growth in the years
2000-2014:
Texas had more new residents (6 million)
than any other state.
Texas had 7 of the 10 counties with the most
people moving in from other parts of the
country. Tarrant County ranked #10 on this list.
Tarrant County ranked 8th in the nation
in total population growth between 2010-2013.
2.
75% of Texas’ growth between 2010-14 was due to more
births than deaths and people moving in from other parts of the
U.S. Less than 20% was due to people moving to Texas from
foreign countries.
3.
As of 2014, Tarrant County had over 1.9 MILLION residents,
the 16th most populous county in the U.S. The county grew by
136,325 people between 2010-2014.

Although Tarrant County is relatively young, with half the
population being younger than 34 years old, more than 287,000
people in the county are age 60 or older. Between 2010-2014, the
number of older adults age 60+ grew three times faster (17%)

A higher level of education dramatically
reduces a person’s chances of living in
poverty. In 2013, more than one-third
(37%) of U.S. adults age 25-34 who did
not finish high school had income at or
below the poverty level, whereas only one
in five (21%) of those with a high school
diploma and fewer than one out of 10 (7%)
of people with a bachelor’s degree or higher
lived in poverty.

Poverty disproportionately affects people of different races/
ethnicities as well as children. Although in 2013 half the county
population had income above $56,850, about one in seven
residents of Tarrant County (nearly 15%) lives with income at or
below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), which in 2015 is $24,250 for
a family of four. The percentage of African-Americans in poverty (29%) or Hispanics in poverty (33%) is more than double that of
Anglos (12%). Among the county’s children, one in five (20.8%)
lives in a poor family.

13. Tarrant County is home to over 118,000 veterans. Only
about one in five (fewer than 20%) has a service-connected
disability. About 15% (over 17,000) have served since 9/11/2001
when the Twin Towers fell in New York City. About one-third (35%)
are Vietnam era veterans. Only 6% are veterans of World War II.

EDUCATION
14. A Texas Education Scorecard issued in 2015 by the Center
for Public Policy Priorities graded Tarrant County school districts
a C- on five key indicators: school readiness, transition to high
school, high school success, transition to college and college
success. The grades for other urban counties in Texas were similar
or worse: Travis County (Austin): C, Harris County (Houston): C-,
Dallas County: D, and Bexar County (San Antonio): D.

15. According to the Texas Education
Scorecard (2015), sixty percent of young
students in Tarrant County districts do
not meet 3rd grade reading standards,
12% must repeat the 9th grade, 7%
drop out of high school, 51% do not
enroll in Texas colleges, and 53%
do not graduate from college.
For all these indicators,
disparities exist across
racial/ethnic groups. For Anglo
students, the percentages are
lower; for African-American and
Hispanic/Latino students, the
percentages are higher.
16.
There are differences among
Tarrant County’s 20 school districts
on important academic markers. The
four-year graduation rate for the class
of 2013-2014 ranged from a low of
82% in Fort Worth ISD to a high of
99% in Carroll ISD. The percentage
of graduates who met or exceeded
college-ready criteria ranged from a low
of 42% in Castleberry ISD to a high of
96% in Carroll ISD.
11
EDUCATION
17.
Pre-Kindergarten education is a predictor of future success
in school and in life. Yet, participation in Tarrant County public
Pre-K programs in 2013-14 was lower than for Texas with only
24.2% of 3-4 year olds enrolled (compared with 29.7% for Texas)
and only 4.2% for Head Start 3-4 years olds (compared to 9.2%
for Texas) in 2011-12.
18.
While Texas has Pre-K guidelines, they are voluntary, with
little uniformity in quality across the state. The state legislature
initially supported the creation of Pre-K, but defunded it in
2011. In 2015, the funding was approved to address quality
improvements for currently eligible children but not to expand
access for additional children.
19.
In 2014, almost one in five (19%) Texas school-age
children cared for him/herself after school. A parent survey
revealed that more than 37% of school-age kids would participate
in a before/after school program if it were offered. In Arlington
during school year 2013-14, enrollment increased in after school
care held off-campus and in summer care on-campus, compared
to 2010-11.

Dropout and Graduation Rates
20.
For all Tarrant County school districts, the percentage of
students in the graduating class of 2014 who dropped out between
9th grade and graduation was 7.3%. This was slightly higher than
the statewide percentage of 6.6%.
21.
Dropout rates vary among Tarrant County’s school districts.
In the 2013-2014 school year, the annual dropout rate in grades
7-8 ranged from a low of 0 in several districts to a
high of 0.5% in Fort Worth ISD. Among high
school students, the annual dropout rate
during the same year ranged from a low
of 0.1% in Carroll ISD to a high of 2.9%
in Fort Worth ISD.

Literacy
23.
Literacy means the ability to read, write and do basic
math. One in seven (14% or 266,000) Tarrant County adults
cannot read well enough to read a story to a child, fill out a
job application, or understand prescription instructions or an
apartment lease.
24.
Only 5,558 Tarrant County adults were enrolled in adult
basic education, GED classes, or English as a Second Language
classes in 2014-15. Since 2011-12, the percentage of people
enrolled in English as a Second Language and English Literacy
and Civics classes increased by 26% while the number served in
Adult Basic Education classes and GED classes dropped by 10%
and 21%, respectively. The number of Americans who received a
GED dropped dramatically in 2014 to only 86,000 (from 559,000
the year before) when changes were made to the test.

In a 2014 ranking of America’s 75 most literate cities
with population over 250,000, Arlington and Fort Worth ranked in
the bottom half at 62 and 53, respectively. Arlington improved its
ranking from 70 in 2010 while Fort Worth fell a few rungs from 50.
Cities are rated on factors related to the number of booksellers,
percentage of adults with a high school diploma or bachelor’s
degree or higher, internet resources, libraries, newspapers and
publications.
Income and Asset Poverty
26. Although median household income in Tarrant County at $56,853 (2009-2013) has been above that for U.S. and Texas,
15% of Tarrant County residents live at or below the poverty level
($24,250 for a family of four in 2015).
27.
One in four (25.5%) Tarrant County households experienced
“asset poverty” in 2015, meaning they did not have sufficient
property they could turn into cash to allow them to make ends
meet for at least three months should the need arise. Households
of color and households led by single women were more likely to
experience asset poverty than white households and two-parent
households. In Tarrant County, 42% of families have less than
$5,963 in savings and are considered to be “liquid asset-poor.”

Housing
28.
In Tarrant County just under two-thirds (62%) of houses
were owner-occupied in 2013 and 38% of houses were occupied
by renters. Renters are about twice as likely than homeowners to
spend one-third or more of their income on housing: rent, utilities,
and insurance. In Tarrant County, 49% of renters spend more
than a third of their income on housing-related expenses. This
means there is less money available for food, clothing, child care,
gas, and other necessities.
Hunger and Food Insecurity
29.
Hunger or “food insecurity” is a reality for about one in
five (18.5%) residents of Tarrant County. “Food deserts” in pockets
of the community limit
residents’ access to nutritious
food. Zip code 76134 scored

families using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP), formerly Food Stamps, was twice as high as Texas (5%)
between 2012 and 2015. Yet about 42,000 fewer Tarrant County
children received free or reduced lunch in 2014 compared to
2010-11 and about 13,000 fewer Tarrant County children received
Women, Infants, Children (WIC) services in 2014 compared to four
years earlier.

Unemployment
31.
The unemployment rate in Tarrant County (4.1% in July
2015) has shown a dramatic decrease since 2011 when it was
8.6% during the recession. Calls to 2-1-1 about employment
opportunities and training dropped by 40% during this period.
Homelessness
32.
The number of people experiencing homelessness in the
county decreased by 10% between 2010 and 2015 to about 1,900
adults and children. This is a dramatic improvement from 2002-04
when the homeless population reached over 5,200 people. This is
due to major federal policy shifts and local efforts to move people
experiencing homelessness from the street and shelters into
“housing first.” The number of homeless veterans has declined
by 42% over the same period to 136. Unemployment and the
inability to make rent or mortgage payments, the top 2 reasons for
homelessness, remained the same as the year before.
Transportation
33.
In 2014, 83% of Tarrant County workers drove alone to
work, fewer than 10% carpooled, and fewer than 1% used public
transportation. The average commute was 26 minutes. Getting
around our growing area with no county-wide public transportation
system continues to be a challenge, especially for people who are
older, have health problems, or lack a reliable vehicle. Research
shows that public transportation can save a worker thousands of
dollars a year. Between 2011 and 2014, calls to 2-1-1 requesting
transportation to medical appointments increased among all
callers and among older adults.

Crime, Family Violence and
Sexual Assault
34.
With the exception of domestic violence and sexual
assault, crime in Tarrant County declined by 18% in the years
2010-2014. However, in 2014, there were over 12,875 reported
incidents of domestic violence and local police departments filed
1,596 incidents of sexual assault. The same year, there were
1,721 calls to the county Rape Crisis and Victim Services Hotline.
Research shows both domestic or family violence and sexual
assault are significantly under-reported. A formal curriculum to
raise awareness about how to prevent sexual assault reached
over 91,000 Tarrant County school children in 2014. Across Texas,
although more than 23,000 adults and children received shelter
from domestic violence, 14,801 requests for shelter went unmet.
Child Abuse and Adult Abuse
35.
The community is becoming more aware of vulnerable
populations in our community. As a result, reports of possible
abuse or neglect of children and adults have increased and
become more accurate. Not only did more people report possible
cases of abuse or neglect in 2014 compared to 2010, but a
higher percentage of the cases investigated by child protection
and adult protection authorities resulted in confirmed abuse or
neglect. Survivors were able to get needed services. Two-thirds
of protective service investigations involving adults resulted
in confirmed abuse/neglect (2,862 cases), whereas among
investigations involving children, more than one in four cases
(28.6%) resulted in identified victims (3,731).

Health Care Access
36.
Although in 2015 Texas still had the highest
percentage of uninsured people in the nation (24.8%), the
percentage of adults and children without health insurance
has decreased due to the availability of the Affordable
Care Act and more children enrolled in Medicaid and the
Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP). In 2014, about
two-thirds of county residents under 65 had private
insurance, about 25% had public coverage and 18% were
uninsured. Among more than 11,000 patients of Fort
Worth’s North Texas Community Health Center, a federally
qualified health center mandated to serve insured and
uninsured alike, the percentage without private insurance
had dropped from 68% in 2012 to only 31% in 2014.
The vast majority (94%) of the clinics’ patients in 2014
were Latino.

Older Adults
37.
Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia,
was the sixth leading cause of death in Tarrant County. The
incidence of Alzheimer’s disease increases with age – from 3%
among people age 65-75 to over 47% among those over 85. As
people live longer, the number of people with Alzheimer’s will
increase. The majority of care for people with Alzheimer’s disease
is provided by unpaid family caregivers, of whom almost twothirds are women.
38.
Disabilities are more prevalent among older adults than
among younger people and the type of disability varies by age.
In Tarrant County, more than one in three people (36%) over age
65 has a disability compared with only one in 20 children (5%)
ages 5-17. While young children tend to experience disabilities
that affect their ability to learn, older adults tend to experience
difficulty with walking, living independently, and hearing. The
number of people living in local assisted living facilities
increased from 2008 to 2010, at which time 44% of residents
were age 86+.

With advances in medical treatment, the number
of HIV and AIDS cases diagnosed in Tarrant County
decreased 15% (to 230 cases) and 7% (to 137 cases)
respectively from 2008 until 2014. However, slightly fewer
than 5,000 county residents were living with HIV in 2014.
The majority of those diagnosed live in the county’s largest
city, Fort Worth.

Asthma is a chronic condition that results not only

A higher percentage of Tarrant County children and adults
suffers from asthma compared to people in Texas and
the U.S. In Tarrant County, 10% of children and 8% of
adults suffer from asthma. The percentage of children
with asthma is higher among boys and among AfricanAmerican children compared to other races/ethnicities,
whereas among adults, asthma is more prevalent in
women. In a 2008 survey of North Texas parents, 18
percent reported their children had
been diagnosed with asthma.

Substance Abuse
41.
A Tarrant County study conducted in 2015 found
that only one in 10 Americans gets the help he or she needs
to address a substance use disorder. Many do not seek
help. Admissions to Tarrant County treatment programs
for alcohol and drug use declined 11% in 2013 (4,862)
compared with 2010 (5,400). Among adults admitted
to treatment facilities, opiates were the most common
substances misused. Opiates, derived from the poppy plant,
include legal substances, including morphine, codeine, and
oxycodone, as well as illegal substances, such as heroin.
Among adolescent admissions, marijuana was the primary
drug at the time of admission.
Healthy Lifestyles
42.
Nearly two-thirds of
Tarrant County adults
continue to be overweight or
obese. The chances of being
overweight/obese are highest
among males, people ages
55-64, African-Americans and Hispanics, people with less
than a high school education, low-income people and those
who have been out of work for more than a year.

43.
Congestive heart failure continues to top the list of
potentially preventable hospitalizations for adults in
Tarrant County between 2008-2013. Diabetes ranked fifth.
Although diabetes occurs in a smaller percentage of Tarrant
County residents compared to Texas or the U.S., diabetes
disproportionately affects older adults and minority groups.
In Tarrant County in 2009-2010, 12% of Tarrant County
African-Americans (compared to 8% of Anglos) experienced
diabetes.
44.
Texas ranked among the top 5 states for high school
student obesity in 2013 and among the top 10 states with
the highest rate of childhood obesity in 2011. Approximately
one in six Texas high school students was overweight or
obese in 2013. Only slightly more than one-fourth (27%) of
high school students were engaged in physical activity for at

HEALTH
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
45.
Sexually transmitted diseases, specifically
chlamydia and gonorrhea, continued to be the leading
communicable diseases in Tarrant County in 2012 and
in 2007-10. These diseases are caused by bacterial
infections during sexual contact and can also be
transmitted by a mother to her baby during pregnancy or
delivery.
Infant Mortality
46.
The death of an infant during the child’s first year
is a traumatic event, not only for the family but for the
community. With 7 infant deaths during a child’s first year
of life for every 1,000 live births, Tarrant County’s rate of
infant mortality in 2013 was higher than for Texas (5.8 per
1,000) and the U.S. (6.7 per 1,000). African-American
families in Tarrant County are disproportionately affected by infant mortality. The rate of infant death among African-Americans was almost three times the rate for Anglos.
47.
Infant mortality is a complex problem that is not directly caused by any one factor, such as a lack of
prenatal care, age of the mother, or
lack of health insurance. The health of the mother before she gets
pregnant is highly correlated to a healthy birth weight and delivery.
In almost two-thirds (61%)
of cases of infant death in Tarrant County that
were reviewed by the
Fetal/Infant Mortality Review Team
between 2008-10, the mother was overweight or obese.

HEALTH
Leading Causes of Death
48.
The two leading causes of death in Tarrant County
in 2010 were heart disease (182 deaths per 100,000
people) and cancer (172 deaths per 100,000 people).
49.
Among injury-related deaths, motor vehicle
accidents and suicide each accounted for 10 deaths per
100,000 people of all ages in Trauma Service Area E (which
includes Tarrant County) in 2009. Suicide (13.4 deaths
per 100,000 population) was the leading cause of injuryrelated death among people ages 20-64. Among people 65
and older, falls accounted for more than 50 injury-related
deaths per 100,000 people.
Leading Causes of
Hospitalization
50.
Among people of all ages, falls were the leading
cause of injury hospitalization (292 per 100,000) both in
Trauma Service Area E (which includes Tarrant County)
and in Texas in 2009, far outstripping the #2 cause - motor
vehicle crashes (67 per 100,000 people). Falls were almost
10 times as prevalent among older people age 65+ in
TSA E (2,267 per 100,000 people) than overall.
