Tables concerning Children. Helpful to consider in relation to Families.

Overview

Children

The ACS tables beginning with 09 are about children and relationships. In the listing below, table names have been simplified in some cases. References to children and grandchildren almost always mean under 18 years old. Income is for the last 12 months, adjusted for inflation to the value of dollars in the last year of the survey period. References to poverty status/level, receipt of food stamps/SNAP, and work status are all for the last 12 months.

Code Title
B09001 Population Under 18 Years by Age
