Description: This fact sheet describes general demographic characteristics of children under the age of 3, in low-income families; their number and proportion, where they live and how often they move, if they have health insurance, their age distribution, race, and ethnicity, and their parent's education, employment, marital status, income level, and country of origin. It has been designed to provide comparable data for different age groups because young children are more likely to live in low-income families.
