Children’s family structure by race/ethnicity and mother’s education
Calculations by the Strengthening Families Research Initiative using 2023 American Community Survey data. Tabulations include all children ages 0 to 18 who live with their mother, weighted using children’s weights. Race and education refer to the mother’s reported race and educational attainment. Unpartnered fathers are excluded. Among children in the 2023 American Community Survey living with their parents, the percentage of children who live with mothers or unpartnered fathers of different racial and ethnic groups breaks down as follows: 52.5% White, 23.7% Hispanic, 12.3% Black, 6.5% Asian/Pacific Islander, 0.6% American Indian/Alaskan Native.
