Fatherhood Statistics

Fathers matter more than we realize.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18.4 million children (1 in 4) live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. (As of 2022). This had led to:

• 4x greater risk of poverty

• Behavior problems and school drop outs

• 2x greater risk of infant mortality

• More likely to end up in prison

• 7x more likely to become pregnant as a teen.
