However, poverty rates vary widely among different groups of Hispanic children. For example, those in families headed by a single mother have the highest poverty rates, 57.3%, while those in families where at least one parent has a college degree have the lowest (8.7%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The economic situation of parents plays an important role in affecting the poverty status of children. Among Latino children with an unemployed parent, 43.5% lived in poverty in 2010.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Latino children in married-couple families, the 2010 poverty rate was 25.3%, less than half the size of the poverty rate among children in female-headed families (57.3%). Among Latino children in male-headed families, 32.7% lived in poverty.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hispanic children in families with a college-educated parent have the lowest poverty rates overall\u20148.7% in 2010. Among Hispanic children in families with a parent who has some college experience, 21.8% lived in poverty. By contrast, nearly half (48.3%) of Hispanic children with parents that have a high school degree or less lived in poverty in 2010.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nativity of parents is an important factor in explaining poverty rates among Latino children. In 2010, the poverty rate among Latino children with immigrant parents was 40.2%, while it was 27.6% among Latino children with U.S.-born parents.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Childhood poverty rates are also linked to the age of the child. Among Latino children younger than age 5, 37.6% lived in poverty in 2010. Among those between the ages of 5 and 12, 35.9% lived in poverty, while among those ages 13 to 17, 30.1% lived in poverty.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;changes-between-2007-and-2010&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"changes-between-2007-and-2010\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changes Between 2007 and 2010<\/h3>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"f0f0f0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0f0f0;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6824 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2011\/09\/2011-childhood-poverty-05.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"677\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impact of the Great Recession on Latino children has been varied.
