Below Poverty: A person is “poor’ if they reside in a family with income below the U.S. poverty threshold, as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. Poverty thresholds differ by family size and are updated annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index. However, they do not take into account geographic differences in the cost of living.

High school dropouts: High school dropouts include persons ages 16 to 19 who are not enrolled in school (full- or part-time) and are not high school graduates. Those persons who have a GED or equivalent are included as high school graduates in this measure.

Not in school and not working: Also referred to as “idle teens,” this measure includes persons ages 16 to 19 who are not enrolled in school (full- or part-time) and not working (full- or part-time).

Speak English less than “very well”: Children ages 5 to 17 who speak a language other than English at home and speak English less than "very well" are classified as having difficulty speaking English. This includes children who speak English "well," "not well," or "not at all." This definition is used by the U.S. Census Bureau based on previous research that assessed the validity of the self-reported English-ability question.

Disability: The Census Bureau defines disability as a long-lasting physical, mental, or emotional condition. Disability is determined for noninstitutionalized persons age 5 and over.

Living in neighborhoods where 20 percent or more of the population is below poverty: Children who live in census tracts where 20 percent or more of the population is below poverty are classified as living in “high-poverty” neighborhoods. If a census tract has a poverty rate of 20 percent or more, all of the children in that tract are defined as living in a high-poverty neighborhood.

Own children: Own children include people under age 18 in the household who are the sons or daughters of the householder by birth, marriage (a stepchild), or adoption.
