Abstract:
This report provides an overview of children in Puerto Rico, based on data from the 2000 U.S. Census. It documents the situation of children in Puerto Rico, how it compares with conditions of children living in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, and how the characteristics of children in Puerto Rico have changed over time. The census, conducted every 10 years, includes basic demographic information about age, gender, race, and Hispanic origin, as well as more detailed socioeconomic information about poverty, education, family structure, household characteristics, income, place of residence, and other characteristics. Data from the decennial census also provide information for local communities in Puerto Rico that are not available from any other source.
