Definition
The share of children under age 18, none of whose resident parents has a high school diploma or equivalent, by children in foreign-born 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.
Foreign-born is defined as either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or not a citizen of the U.S. Native-born is defined as born in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Northern Marianas or born abroad of American parents. Children living in subfamilies are linked to their parent(s) and not the householder. Children in immigrant families is defined as children who are themselves foreign-born or reside with at least one foreign-born parent.
