Survey results supported the thought that many CACs often serve multiple counties. In fact, the average number of counties served by respondents was 3.18 (SD 5.25). About half of the respondents serve more than one county, and the most number of counties served by one CAC is 50 counties. It is important to note that population size and area of counties varies considerably across the nation, greatly impacting the services provided by CACs serving that community. 2013 Salary Survey Results 2
Client Profile In addition to the number of counties served by a CAC, the survey asked respondents to indicate how many children are interviewed at their CAC annually. The average number of children interviewed was 356, with a range from 17 children to 3,000 children. When asked to provide the minimum and maximum age served as defined in the CAC protocol, the average minimum age was reported as 1.5 years (SD 1.37), and the average maximum age was reported as 17.33 years (SD 8.73). About 62% of CACs reported they serve children 2 years of age or older as defined by their protocol, and about 49% indicated the they serve children up to the age of 18 as defined by their protocol. CAC Capacity Profile The average annual budget of CACs who completed the survey is $481,719.20 with a range from $9,000 to $6,304,922.00. Intern and Volunteer Utilization CACs Utilizing Interns 33% CACs Utilizing Volunteers 26% 67% Unpaid Intern None Yes No 74% While the majority of CACs utilize interns and volunteers, very few have begun to use Americorps VISTAs as a potential augmentation to their staff capacity. Only 4% of respondents indicated they used Americorop VISTAs. 2013 Salary Survey Results 3
