Young Children in Deep Poverty

Currently, 11 percent of young children under age 10 live in households with incomes below 50 percent of the federal poverty line. This fact sheet from the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP) compares the early health, development, and risk characteristics of young children living in deep poverty to children in families that are poor, but not deeply poor, and children in families that are not poor.
