Texas’s Immigrant and U.S.-Born Parents of Young and Elementary-School-Age Children: Key Sociodemographic Characteristics

1400 16th St NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20036 202-266-1940 This fact sheet explores key sociodemographic characteristics of Texas’s immigrant and native-born parents with children ages 0 to 4 and 5 to 10. It draws from a broader analysis the Migration Policy Institute’s (MPI’s) National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy (NCIIP) conducted on immigrant and U.S.born parents with children under age 18. Given the needs of parents differ depending on their children’s age, and many service systems align their efforts to particular age groups, the overarching analysis segments data on parent characteristics to reflect those with children between ages 0 to 4, 5 to 10, 11 to 13, and 14 to 17.
