Percentage of children in the United States aged 5 to 17 who faced chronic school absenteeism due to health-related issues in the past 12 months in 2022, by family income
Federal poverty level (FPL) is based on the ratio of a family’s income in the previous calendar year to the appropriate poverty threshold defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Chronic school absenteeism was categorized based on the survey question: “During the past 12 months, about how many days of school did [Sample Child] miss school because they had an illness, injury, or disability?”
Based on the U.S. Department of Education definition, instances where absences lasted for 15 days or more were classified as chronic school absenteeism. Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population.
Interviews are typically conducted in respondents’ homes, but follow-ups to complete interviews may be conducted over the telephone.
