Summary

Every Texas county, shaded by the share of children under 18 living below poverty. Darker counties have a higher child poverty rate. County borders are the U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundary (cb_500k).

In a typical Texas county, 17.8 percent of children under 18 live below the poverty line, the midpoint among the 253 counties with a published child poverty rate. That county rate is not a state figure. When every Texas child is counted once, 18.9 percent are below poverty, a little higher, because several large metros sit above the middle. Dimmit County is the highest at 59.3 percent. Eight counties, including Terrell, publish no children below poverty. 34 counties are at 30 percent or more, most of them small and in South Texas or along the border, while 1.4 million children below poverty live mainly in the big metros. Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Hidalgo and Tarrant alone account for about half of them.

Those five hold about half of the 1.4 million Texas children below poverty. Small counties with very high rates contribute far fewer children in absolute terms.

About this data

  • Poverty status is determined for most people but not all. The child rate uses children under 18 in table B17020 (under 6, 6 to 11, and 12 to 17 combined), not total population and not the all-ages poverty rate.
  • A county rate is not a state figure. Averaging the county rates would weight Loving County the same as Harris. The 18.9 percent figure counts every Texas child once from a separate state request.
  • Loving County published zeros across the under-18 poverty lines, so the child poverty universe is zero and the rate is shown as an em dash. That is a published zero universe, not a Census suppression sentinel. No county returned the -666666666 suppression code on these variables.
  • The under-6 ranking uses the same table age split. A few tiny counties have no children under 6 in the poverty universe and are left blank on that chart.
