Roughly one in four children in the United States today is Hispanic. As such, Hispanics represent the largest and fastest-growing racial/ethnic minority group among the nation’s children, but is also a group that is disproportionately poor. 
 
The latest report from the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families looks at the family structure and living conditions in low-income Hispanic families, finding key differentiators when comparing US born and foreign born low-income Hispanic households.  It compares and contrasts the characteristics of low-income households with Hispanic children with those of low-income black/white kids. And it looks at other indicators in low-income Hispanic families, such as household size and employment.
 
The report is the second in a series on low-income Hispanic children. The first report can be found here.
 
Led by Abt Associates, Child Trends, and university partners, The Center serves as a research hub charged with improving the lives of low-income Hispanics.
