^*p<0.05.

^†indicates OPM and SPM coefficients for the same income-to-needs ratio categories are statistically significantly different at the p<0.05 level.

Note: The estimates are based on regressions that control for race/ethnicity, number of people in the household, age of the oldest child, presence of a child less than age 6, presence of an adult aged 65 and older, parent is single, parental education, parental employment, parental disability, housing is rented, mother's age, state of residence, and year.
