Data Provided By

Definitions: Estimated number and percent of related children age 15-17 in families in poverty.  

Data Source: The U.S. Census Bureau, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE).

Footnotes: These estimates combine data from administrative records, intercensal population estimates, and the decennial census, with direct estimates from the American Community Survey. The Census Bureau believes these model-based single-year estimates are more reflective of current conditions than multi-year survey estimates.
