Definition
The estimated number of children ages 0-17 who are
living in households with incomes below the federal poverty threshold.
The threshold, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, is updated annually
and adjusted for family size. In 2021, the poverty threshold for a
family of two children and two adults was $27,479 and the threshold for a
single parent with one child was $18,677. You can view poverty thresholds
for other household compositions and other years here.
Data Source
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, derived from American Fact Finder, Table B17001, 5-year estimates.
Notes
Estimates are derived from survey data collected over five years. For
example, the 2021 estimate includes data from 2017-2021. Estimates
are best used to describe the five year time period rather than
the single year of the data release. The Census Bureau recommends using non-overlapping periods for trend
analysis.
Margin of error estimates are included in American FactFinder table B17001.
