Definition
Number and percentage of children throughout New Mexico living in a single-parent family or sub-family household.
To derive percentage, the numerator is the number of children living in a family household headed by an individual (either male or female) with no spouse present in the home, regardless of the householder's relationship with the child. The denominator is the number of children under the age of 18, regardless of living arrangements or household status. This indicator includes children not related to the householder but who are in a family household (such as foster children). Single-parent families include cohabiting couples.
