Definitions:
The number and percentage of grandparents responsible for their own grandchildren under 18 years old who are living with them, by race and ethnicity. Percentage is derived by dividing the number of grandparents who are responsible for their own grandchildren living with them, by the total number of grandparents living with their own grandchildren. For example, in 2019, 37% of Hispanic grandparents living with their own grandchildren were also responsible for them.The U.S. Census uses these race categories: White, Black or African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, Some Other Race, and Two or More Races. In addition, the U.S. Census uses two ethnic categories: Hispanic and Non-Hispanic. Hispanic (or Latino) refers to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. The term 'origin' is used to indicate a person's (or the person's parents) heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth.
