Family/household type. Each household in the sample is classified as one of four types.
In a “two-parent married household” the student lives with a married couple. In “male
householder” or “female householder” households the student lives with an unmarried male or
female adult—usually the father or mother, respectively. Children and adolescents whose
housing arrangements fit none of these categories are classified as an “other arrangement.”
Household language. The CPS household language variable HUSPNISH classifies
households according to whether or not Spanish is the only language spoken by all members of
the household who are 15 years of age or older.
Family income. Family income is derived from a single question asked of the household
respondent. Income includes money from all sources including jobs, business, interest, rent,
social security payments, and so forth that was received in the preceding 12 months. The income
of all family members 15 years old and over is included. Income is reported in sixteen categories
ranging from “less than $5,000” to “$150,000 or more.” For convenience in tabular presentation,
these categories were collapsed to five: under $20,000, $20,000-$34,999, $35,000-49,999,
$50,000-$74,999, and $75,000 or more.
Poverty status. Poverty status is deduced from household size and reported household
income categories. Households with reported income in categories below the poverty threshold
for their household size (as currently defined by the U.S. Census Bureau for 2003) were
classified as poor, and those households with income categories above the poverty threshold
were classified as not poor. Some households reported income in a range that straddles the
poverty threshold. It is likely that some of these households meet the Census Bureau definition
of poverty and that some do not, but the CPS data do not allow discrimination between poor and
non-poor status for these households. For the purposes of this analysis, all households in an
income category that straddles a poverty threshold were classified as poor. For example, the
poverty threshold for a family of three persons including one related child is currently $14,680,
and a family of three that reported an income in the category “$12,500 to $14,999” is classified
as poor in this analysis
