Complete descriptions of the categories for English spoken at home by parents/guardians are as follows: (1) Both parents/guardians or the only
parent/guardian learned English first or currently speak(s) English in the home, (2) One of two parents/guardians in a two-parent/guardian
household learned English first or currently speaks English in the home, and (3) No parent/guardian learned English first and both
parents/guardians or the only parent/guardian currently speak(s) a non-English language in the home.
5
Full-time employment is defined as working 35 hours or more per week. Part-time employment is defined as working less than 35 hours per
week.
6
Children are considered poor if living in households with incomes below the poverty threshold, which is a dollar amount determined by the
federal government to meet the household’s needs, given its size and composition. Income is collected in categories in the survey, rather than as
an exact amount, and therefore the poverty measures used in this report are approximations of poverty. Detailed information on the poverty
status calculation used in this report is available in appendix B.
NOTE: Estimates include children from birth through age 5 and not yet in kindergarten. Children may have multiple care arrangements.
