  • a large and growing majority of poor children live in working families, and as many of California’s poor children live in two-parent as in single-parent families.
  • Almost half of all California’s children are immigrants, and the large majority of these immigrants are Hispanic.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Poverty rates for Hispanic children increased from 30 to 34 percent, an increase of 14 percent. Poverty rates for African-American children went from 32 to 24 percent. At the same time, the poverty rates for white children stayed nearly flat at about 11 percent.
  • The poverty rate for Asian-American children was 19 percent during 1996–2000.
  • Children in two-parent families in California are more likely to be poor than they were two decades ago, but they continue to have much lower poverty rates than children living with single mothers.
