Only those categories with at least 10% of households are reported above. Only those respondents who reported that someone in the household had received a “Child Tax Credit” payment in the past four weeks and provided a valid response are included.  

Racial and ethnic groups represented in this table are not mutually exclusive. The white category includes only non-Hispanic white. The categories of Black or African American, Asian, two or more races and other race include both Hispanic and non-Hispanic. Those in the Hispanic or Latino category include those identified as being of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin. American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian are included in the other race category.
