Notes Note in columns 5 and 6, the omitted category is having a single Native American parent as the reference group. Included in all specifications but not reported are: separate trend variables for one- and two-Native American parent households, number of children less than six years of age, age by race dummy variables, and a Native American-specific time trend. Household income is a categorical variable where each bin is $5,000 in size. The lowest category, for instance, goes from 0 to $5,000. The second bin goes from $5,001 to $10,000, etc. Clustered standard errors at the individual level in parentheses.
