Notes: Of the four largest race/ethnic groups represented in the 2002 cases (White, African American, Hispanic and Native American), African American, Hispanic, and Native American (including Alaska Native) children are all over-represented in the foster care cases, compared to in-home cases.
The breakdowns are as follows:
Of the White children in the 2002 cases: 47% were in the in-home cases, and 53% were in foster care cases.
Of the African-American children in the 2002 cases: 38% were in in-home cases, and 62% were in foster care cases.
Of the Hispanic children in the 2002 cases: 36% were in in-home cases and 64% were in foster care cases.
Of the Native American children in the 2002 cases: 31% were in in-home cases and 69% were in foster care cases.

Of 289 white children, 46% were served in-home and 52% were served in foster care. Of 198 black children, 37% were served in-home and 61% were served in foster care. Of 67 Hispanic children, 45% were served in-home and 63% were served in foster care. Of 45 Native American children, 30% were served in-home and 68% were served in foster care.
