| Charting America's Single Mothers By Ethnicity |
| 2025-02-20 |
| [ZERO] There are 7.3 million single mothers in the U.S., as well as 1.9 million single fathers. Single parents often face the dual challenge of being both the primary breadwinners and caregivers for their families. This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti, represents the percentage of mothers in the U.S. who are single, by race/ethnicity, in 2023. Article contains superfluous graphic. |

| #15 I think it's childlessness with the whites. |

| #14 It turned out that the welfare programs of the 1960s "Great Society" made it financially very advantageous for the woman to not be married. We destroyed the black families, which had previously been making great progress economically and socially. Johnson loved it. |

| #13 I do not know any white kids, millennials or GenZ, who are single parents. I know several who started out single parents, but after a few years found someone to marry — sometimes well chosen, sometimes not. All have lots of support, both babysitting and financial, from their middle to upper-middle class parents. It’s interesting to see the kids of the educated and successful choosing not to abort their whoopsies. |

| #12 "for the past generation the white kids have been racing to catch up with their tanner peers." Are you sure about that? I do not know any white kids, millennials or GenZ, who are single parents. Outside of gays but I dont want to digress there. And I tend to hand out with white trash and derelicts, that's the demographic most likely to be single parents, and I am not seeing it. Not like I did with my GenX peers. |

| #10 I've read that multigenerational single moms adapt traits that make them insufferable mates: quick to anger, violent, mouthy, Dunning-Kruger types. |

| #9 I took single fathers as those caring for their children without benefit of female support. Or is Mayor Pete in that category? Or would that be 'double fathers'? |

| #7 It's % of single mothers per ethnic group - not ethnic percentage of single mothers, NN2N1 (note the numbers don't add to 100). That is, 47% of black mothers are single - not 47% of single mothers are black. |

| #6 Would be interesting to see a graph of those single parent demographic distributions over time - say 100 years. I am surprised whites are still down at 14% - my perception was that for the past generation the white kids have been racing to catch up with their tanner peers. |

| #3 Thank you, Mr. B. for the fact source pointer So, here we have a demographic group, that only makes up roughly 14% of the US population, accounting for almost 1/2 of all US's UN-Wed births and single Moms. QUESTION: So, why would any Local, State or Fed Political Party design and fund a process that it knows will produce growing generation after generation number of single mothers on TAXPAYER assistance? SIDE NOTE: Given the multi-Generational practice of multi-sperm donor hook-ups. With a surprising number actually seeking to become pregnant and get a free taxpayer ride. There was also a study done some years ago, regarding the possible later generation inadvertent 1st and 2nd cousin hook-ups producing offspring in the Housing Projects and nearby areas. |
