NOTE: Children are "own children" and include sons, daughters,

stepchildren, and adopted children. Not included are nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and other related and unrelated children. Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American,

and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for

all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by

ethnicity as well as by race.
