american Community survey (aCs) data released by the u.s. Census Bureau on september 29, 2009, reveal interesting trends in poverty for young children—under the age of 6. For those young children living in the rural Midwest, poverty rates increased by 1.7 percent over the past year, while rates for young children in the urban northeast dropped by 0.7 percentage point. also striking is the very high rate of young child poverty experienced by those in the south: nearly one-third of young children in the rural south are poor. although all children suffer consequences of being poor, young children are especially vulnerable. Women in poverty are more likely to have babies of low birth weight, a correlate of later health problems, infant mortality, and more cognitive and emotional problems. 1 Other challenges include poorer health, lower quality education and programs, lower cognitive and behavioral functioning, and greater parental stress. There is also evidence that poverty is associated with a lower quality home environment and less effective parenting practices.2 Being poor also means that families may have trouble accessing adequate quality food and young children may experience stunted growth. Poor children live in lowerquality housing. In many communities, this means young children are exposed to lead paint. Prenatal exposure and exposure at young ages through inhalation and ingestion of paint chips can lead to a variety of health problems and decreased intelligence. The consequences of early poverty ripple through the life cycle for many children. Childhood health problems often follow into adulthood, and early childhood poverty is correlated with fewer years of completed schooling.3 While changes from 2007 through 2008 are important, they cannot fully reflect the current recession. aCs data are collected throughout the calendar year, so the 2008 data reflect January through December 2008. When data are available for 2009, we are likely to see a bleaker picture for poverty and for children in particular. Consensus among experts is that 2008 does not capture the worst effects of the Key Findings
