Summary

Every Texas county, shaded by the share of children under 18 living in a married-couple household. Darker counties have a larger married-couple share. County borders are the U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundary (cb_500k).

In a typical Texas county, 68.2 percent of children under 18 live in a married-couple household and 23.4 percent live with a single householder who has no spouse or partner present. Those are midpoints among the 253 counties with children in this table, so they are not a state figure. Counting every child once, 67.3 percent live in married-couple homes and 25.4 percent in single-parent homes statewide. 116 counties have a married-couple share of 70 percent or higher. Culberson County sits at the other end: only 27.4 percent of its children live in married-couple homes, and 72.6 percent live with a female householder and no spouse or partner. Cohabiting-couple homes hold 7.1 percent of children in the typical county and 7.3 percent statewide, highest in Jim Hogg at 33.3 percent.

About this data

Figures are from ACS table B09005, Household Type for Children Under 18 Years in Households (excluding householders, spouses, and unmarried partners). Shares are of children under 18 in households, not of all households.
Married-couple, cohabiting-couple, male householder with no spouse or partner present, and female householder with no spouse or partner present are the four arrangements the table publishes. Single-parent share on this page is the sum of the male and female no-spouse-or-partner groups.
A county rate is not a state figure. Averaging the 254 rates would weight Loving County the same as Harris. Statewide shares count every child under 18 in households once from a separate state request.
Loving County reported zero children under 18 in households, so its shares are shown as an em dash and it is left out of the rankings. Kenedy County has only two children in the universe, so its 100 percent married-couple share has a very large margin of error.
