‡Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater.
1Total includes other racial/ethnic groups not shown separately.
NOTE: Data are based on sample surveys of the entire population residing within the United States, including those living in group quarters (e.g., shelters, healthcare facilities, or correctional facilities). Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For Digest 2020 this table was revised to include data on 3- to 5-year-old children, while previous versions of the table only included data on 3- and 4-year-old children. Comparisons should only be made between tables with the same child population.
