1 in 10 U.S. children live with a grandparent: White families largely account for increase, 2009 census data show

The Washington Times reports:

One in 10 American children lived in a home with a grandparent in 2009, a 64 percent jump from two decades ago, the U.S. Census Bureau said Wednesday.

While the vast majority of the 7.8 million children living with grandparents were in “three-generation” families, almost a quarter of those children were being raised by their grandparents alone.
