Children
There are three main sources of information about children:
- Numbers of children at the national and state level may be found
in our Population estimates and
projections offerings.
- Characteristics of children may be found under the various subject
listings under the Subjects A to Z button on the Census Bureau’s
Home Page, e.g., see poverty for children in poverty.
