Fig. 3 Foster care rate ratios, U.S. states and District of Columbia, 1982–2018. Points indicate ratios of rates for each ethnoracial group compared with the total rate for children of all races and ethnicities. Rate ratios therefore represent the factor by which children of each group were over- or underrepresented in the foster care population. The vertical axis is plotted on a logarithmic scale, with proportional representation indicated by the horizontal line at 1. Missing points indicate that ethnoracial data are unavailable or unreliable. Unstable ratios, particularly for the American Indian/Alaska Native and Asian American/Pacific Islander groups, result from small numbers of children in foster care. Values below the vertical range are plotted at the lower extreme. Sources: American Public Welfare Association, Children's Bureau, National Center for Social Statistics, and U.S. Census Bureau.
