How we count
- Price and hour percentages count options with known prices or hours.
- Aid, refund and nonprofit percentages count each day or sleepaway camp provider once across both areas, using October 2026 provider records.
- Policy percentages use all those providers as the denominator, count only explicit positive records, and are rounded to the nearest whole percent.
- Prices and hour percentages need at least 20 usable options from five providers. Sparse figures are omitted rather than filled in from a larger area.
