Notes: The woman–child distribution of annual admissions was unknown for about 4% of admissions; in such cases, shelters only provided the total number of admissions for the year. Precise reporting period may vary. Shelters were asked to provide information for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2008 or their own 12-month fiscal period. |
