The percent of children living in single-parent households. These figures are based on five-year estimates from the American Community Survey. Calculations take the estimated population under 18 years in households with unmarried householders divided by the total estimated population in family households under 18. Children living in nonfamily households are not included. These figures are based on five-year estimates from the American Community Survey.
