Definition and Source

PROVIDER

Definition

Children under age 18 who live in households that have more than 1 person per room, by children in immigrant families or US-born families. The ratio of occupants per room is derived by dividing the number of persons in the housing unit by the number of rooms in the housing unit.

Children in immigrant families are themselves foreign-born or reside with at least one foreign-born parent. Children in U.S.-born families are both themselves and their resident parents born in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Northern Marianas or born abroad of American parents.
