American Child Poverty Under the Age of 16

It remains uncertain whether the presence of Americans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of poverty level among children under the age of 16 within an area, or if Americans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level among children under the age of 16 due to other factors.
