Definition

Children under age 18, whose resident parents do not have a high school diploma or GED or higher, by children in immigrant families or US-born families. For children living in a married-couple family or subfamily, this means that neither parent has a high school diploma. For children living in a single-parent family or subfamily, this means the resident parent does not.

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.
