About

This statistic shows the population of children in poverty under the age of 18. The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of children in poverty (ages 0-17) by the total population of children (ages 0-17). The Census poverty measure compares the poverty threshold with income 12 months prior to the survey response. If an individual or household's income is below the poverty threshold, they are considered to be in poverty.
