1 Includes all children who live either with their parent(s) or with a householder to whom they are related by birth, marriage, or adoption (except a child who is the spouse of the householder). Children are classified by the number of parents they live with or, if no parents are present in the household, by the marital status of the householder who is related to the children. The householder is the person (or one of the people) who owns or rents (maintains) the housing unit.

2 Includes foster children, children living in group quarters, children in unrelated subfamilies who do not live with any parent, and children who were reported as the householder or spouse of the householder who do not live with any parent.

NOTE: Data are based on sample surveys of the noninstitutionalized population, which excludes persons living in institutions (e.g., prisons or nursing facilities). Caution should be used when comparing 2021 estimates to those of prior years due to the impact that the coronavirus pandemic had on interviewing and response rates. For additional information about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Current Population Survey data collection, please see https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar21.pdf. The data source for this table changed from the American Community Survey to the Current Population Survey for Digest 2021. Comparison should not be made with prior versions of the table. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
