The primary goal of the Data Mining Project is to provide comprehensive data
about the low-income 0-5 population in Los Angeles County. PHFE WIC collaborates
with the California State WIC Program and the six other Local Agency WIC
Programs in Los Angeles County to collect and analyze WIC data. Funded by First
5 LA, the project examines WIC administrative data and administers periodic
surveys of WIC families in order to examine and address the needs of the
low-income community.

California WIC operates a statewide WIC certification and benefits tracking
system. As part of the operation of that system, WIC captures an array of
demographic data on WIC participants. Some of these data are available in
aggregate form, as shown in the interface below. For more information, click on
the WIC Administrative Data link to the left.

- For security reasons if a geography has fewer than 5 individuals for the
variable chosen the value is not shown on the chart.
- The above data values represent only the individuals or families with an address
which could be geocoded to determine where exactly they lived.

Every three years, a survey of a random sample of 5000-6000 WIC families in Los
Angeles county provides additional data about the low-income young children
(ages 0 to 5) and families enrolled in WIC. More information about these
surveys, including the survey instruments and survey reports, are available by
clicking on the WIC Survey Data Link to the left.
