Definition: Estimated percentage of the child population ages 0-17, by race/ethnicity and legislative district (e.g., in 2016-2020, 13.2% of California children were multiracial).
Data Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (Aug. 2022).
Footnote: In the American Community Survey, race is a distinct concept from ethnicity (or Hispanic origin); because race/ethnicity categories overlap (i.e., African American/black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian American, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander children can also be Hispanic/Latino), percentages across categories may sum to more than 100%. These estimates are based on a survey of the population and are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. Because of disruptions to data collection in 2020, American Community Survey estimates for 2016-2020 did not meet statistical quality requirements and have larger than usual margins of error; see Information and Advice on 2020 Federal Data Quality and Use.
