Todas las columnas de la tabla de hechos. El código es el nombre exacto del campo que devuelve la API.

Columna	Tipo	Unidad	Rango	¿Nulo?	Descripción
`year`Year	integer	—	—	no	ACS 5-year vintage END year: 2024 covers the pooled 2020-2024 survey period. Consecutive vintages overlap. Descripción completa▾ ACS 5-year vintage END year: 2024 covers the pooled 2020-2024 survey period. Consecutive vintages overlap.
`county_fips`County FIPS	string	—	—	yes	5-digit county FIPS code (state 13 + county). Populated only on county-level rows. Descripción completa▾ 5-digit county FIPS code (state 13 + county). Populated only on county-level rows. Se une a counties; agrega sus columnas de etiqueta.
`district_code`District Code	string	—	—	yes	GCD school district code (FK to the education districts dimension). Populated only on district-level rows - Census unified-school-district estimates mapped onto the ~180 standard districts via the dimension's district_census_id. Descripción completa▾ GCD school district code (FK to the education districts dimension). Populated only on district-level rows - Census unified-school-district estimates mapped onto the ~180 standard districts via the dimension's district_census_id. Se une a districts; agrega sus columnas de etiqueta.
`tract_geoid`Tract GEOID	string	—	—	yes	11-digit census tract GEOID (2020 boundaries). Populated only on tract-level rows. Descripción completa▾ 11-digit census tract GEOID (2020 boundaries). Populated only on tract-level rows. Se une a tracts; agrega sus columnas de etiqueta.
`age_band`Age Band	string	—	—	no	Under 6 or 6 to 17; 'all' is every own child under 18. Descripción completa▾ Age of the child: under_6 (under 6 years) or 6_17 (6 to 17 years); 'all' is all own children under 18. A partition: under_6 + 6_17 = all on every row combination. The 'all' row at living_arrangement 'all' with both nativity axes at 'all' is the published B05009 total (cell 001); under_6 and 6_17 at that pin are the published subtotals 002 and 020; every other age_band 'all' row is the derived exact sum of its under_6 and 6_17 cells. 3 valores permitidos▾ `all — total / agregado` `under_6` `6_17`
`living_arrangement`Living Arrangement	string	—	—	no	Lives with two parents or with one parent. Descripción completa▾ Whether the child lives with two parents or one parent (the Census family / subfamily structure); 'all' is both together. A partition: two_parents + one_parent = all on every row combination. Rows at 'all' with either nativity axis away from 'all' are derived exact sums of the two arrangement cells. 3 valores permitidos▾ `all — total / agregado` `two_parents` `one_parent`
`parent_nativity`Parent Nativity	string	—	—	no	Whether at least one co-resident parent was born abroad; pin to any_foreign_born_parent for children of immigrants. Descripción completa▾ Nativity of the child's co-resident parent(s), collapsed to the pair defined in both living arrangements: any_foreign_born_parent (two parents: both foreign-born or one native and one foreign-born, B05009 cells 007 + 010; one parent: foreign-born parent, cell 017) vs no_foreign_born_parent (both parents native, cell 006; native parent, cell 016), and their 6-17 counterparts. 'all' is the arrangement subtotal. A partition: any + no = all at child_nativity 'all'. any_foreign_born_parent is the headline 'children of immigrants' measure; foreign-born includes naturalized citizens. The two-parent detail (both foreign-born vs one of each) is not served separately. Under no_foreign_born_parent the only child_nativity row is 'all'. 3 valores permitidos▾ `all — total / agregado` `any_foreign_born_parent` `no_foreign_born_parent`
`child_nativity`Child Nativity	string	—	—	no	Whether the child was born in the U.S. or abroad. Descripción completa▾ The child's own nativity: native (born in the U.S., Puerto Rico, a U.S. Island Area, or abroad to a U.S.-citizen parent) or foreign_born; 'all' is the subtotal. A partition where published: native + foreign_born = all under parent_nativity 'all' and 'any_foreign_born_parent'. The source has no child-nativity split for children with no foreign-born parent, so under no_foreign_born_parent only 'all' exists (nothing is derived). Most children of immigrants are native: pin parent_nativity to any_foreign_born_parent and read the native / foreign_born rows. 3 valores permitidos▾ `all — total / agregado` `native` `foreign_born`
`children_count`Children Count	integer	count	—	yes	Estimated own children under 18 in the age / arrangement / parent-nativity / child-nativity category. Descripción completa▾ ACS 5-year estimate of the number of own children under 18 in families and subfamilies in the (age_band, living_arrangement, parent_nativity, child_nativity) cell: the published B05009 cell where one exists (the three subtotals and the finest age x arrangement rows), else the exact sum of the published member cells (two-parent any_foreign_born_parent rows and every other rollup to an 'all' age band or arrangement). Survey estimate, not a full count - see children_count_moe.
`children_count_moe`Children Count Moe	number	count	—	yes	90 percent margin of error for children_count. Published margins are served as-is (cast to float, never rounded); derived rows carry the Census sqrt-sum-of-squares approximation over the published member-cell margins under the zero-estimate rule (of member cells whose estimate is 0 only the largest margin enters; non-integer). Never the headline metric. Descripción completa▾ 90 percent margin of error for children_count.

Limitaciones

Universe: OWN children under 18 living in families and subfamilies - excludes children living with non-parent relatives (e.g. with grandparents and no parent present), foster and other unrelated children, and children in group quarters; parents' nativity refers to the co-resident parent(s) only, and a foreign-born parent may be a naturalized citizen. parent_nativity and child_nativity are two overlapping partitions of the same children: each is a complete breakdown when the other is pinned to 'all', and adding across both double-counts. The child_nativity split exists only under parent_nativity 'all' and 'any_foreign_born_parent'; under 'no_foreign_born_parent' the only row is child_nativity 'all' (the source has no such cell and none is derived). The three published subtotals (all ages / all arrangements, and each age band at all arrangements) carry published margins; every other age_band 'all' or living_arrangement 'all' row, and every any_foreign_born_parent row under two_parents, is derived as the exact sum of published B05009 cells with a Census sqrt-sum-of-squares margin under the zero-estimate rule (non-integer, served as a float) - including the headline all-ages, all-arrangements count of children with at least one foreign-born parent. The two-parent detail (both parents foreign-born vs one native and one foreign-born parent) is collapsed into any_foreign_born_parent and not served separately. B05009 publishes no annotation sentinels in vintages 2020-2024, so no margin is NULL. ACS 5-year period estimates: the year column is the vintage END year and each estimate pools five years of survey responses (2024 = 2020-2024). Consecutive vintages share about 80% of their sample, so the series is heavily smoothed - never difference overlapping vintages as if they were annual change. Estimates are survey-based and carry 90% margins of error (the *_moe columns); tract-level margins can be large relative to the estimate. All levels serve vintages 2020-2024 only, on 2020-vintage tract boundaries. State rows have NULL county_fips, district_code, and tract_geoid; county rows carry only county_fips, district rows only district_code, tract rows only tract_geoid. District rows cover the ~180 standard (city/county) districts only: the Census publishes school-district estimates at unified school district geography, which has no codes for charter schools, RESAs, or state agencies, and its few Census-only districts (e.g. the Fort Stewart military district) have no GCD district code and are dropped.
