BRIAN KNOP | JANUARY 27, 2020
“It’s not uncommon for children to live with siblings who share just one biological parent. In fact, one in six children under 18 live with a half sibling, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates.
Of the 73.5 million children under age 18 in 2014, 17.0% (12.5 million children) were living with at least one half sibling also under 18.
These estimates come from the redesigned Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) 2014.”
