Hi all
I was looking for data on children under 18 in poverty by race, at the county level.
I found one set of tables, b17020a – b17020i, that show people in poverty by age. Each table is for one race. So b17020d is for Asian alone. B17020b is for Black or African American alone.
But these tables have three age groups for children:under 66 to 1112 to 17
Is there any table or set of tables that show number or percent of children, under 18, as a single age group, in poverty by race?
Thanks

I'm new to the ACS but just spent some time looking at county-level data, it's hard, and age grouping are not consistent across tables. In case you didn't know. You can easily pull just the fields you want (even if they're in separate tables). As long as they're the same type of table. The max is 50 fields (I've pulled over 40).

I hope this helps.
