Source: American Community Survey five-year estimates (table S1701), census tracts, through the Census API. Each year is a five-year estimate ending that year, so neighboring years overlap. Computed from the published tract counts: children in tracts whose overall poverty rate is 30% or more, over all children. The research measure is long-term exposure over childhood; this is a snapshot of where children live now. Tract boundaries changed between the 2021 and 2022 estimates.
