IECAM reports the total number of children age 4 and under who are:

  • Hispanic or Latino (of any race)
  • White Alone, Non-Hispanic or Latino
  • Black or African American, Non-Hispanic or Latino
  • American Indian and Alaska Native, Non-Hispanic or Latino
  • Asian, Non-Hispanic or Latino
  • Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, Non-Hispanic or Latino
  • Other, Non-Hispanic or Latino
  • Two or More Races, Non-Hispanic or Latino

Data source and notes

IECAM prepares race/ethnicity estimates based on the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program and the American Community Survey, 5-year estimates.

These data are available on the Data Hub for years 2019 and later by state, county, Birth to Five Illinois region, school district, and Chicago community area.

These data represent children age 4 and under. This is in contrast to IECAM’s population data, which is for children ages 5 and under. IECAM also provides the total number of children age 4 and under for calculating percentages.
