Definitions: The percentage of children under age 18 who live in families headed by a person - male or female - without a spouse present in the home.

Data Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1990, 2000, and 2010 Census of the Population.

Footnotes: The data includes "own children" which is defined as never-married children under age 18 who are related to the family by birth, marriage or adoption.

Note: Maps use the natural break classification method, which reflects patterns in the data by dividing the map into naturally occurring groups. Using statistical tools, this method determines cut-off points for each group by identifying large gaps in data values.
