Child care policy has taken center stage in the national presidential campaign. While <\/span>Hillary Clinton\u2019s plan<\/span><\/a> includes 12 weeks of paid parental leave for male and female parents, Donald\u00a0<\/span>Trump\u2019s<\/span><\/a> offers half as much leave, just to new mothers. Child care is an important voting issue, regardless of marital and parental statuses, but single mothers are among those who will be the most directly affected by whichever plan is enacted. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To see where child care benefits could have the most impact in this year\u2019s election, Redfin looked into the latest data released by the <\/span>American Community Survey<\/span><\/a> (ACS). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The share of households headed by a single mom grew significantly in 24 of America\u2019s 100 largest cities in 2015. The increases are concentrated in key battleground states, critical to the outcome of this year\u2019s election. \u00a0California, Texas and Florida are home to several cities that are seeing a boom in young families headed by single mothers. California and Texas claimed five of the top 10 cities with the largest growth in the share of single-mom households.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n
\"Map:

While many of the top cities are in California, a blue state that everyone expects will go to Clinton, Arizona and Florida are both important states for Trump to win. Given the large increase in single-mother households in these cities, the specificity of Trump\u2019s plan may help him with female voters even in California — a demographic he\u2019s been accused of ignoring at best and slandering at worst. <\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these cities share another demographic trait important to this year\u2019s election — a large foreign-born population. So while Trump\u2019s proposal to provide child care assistance may help him in these communities, his aggressive stance on immigration could mean one step forward and two steps back for his campaign.<\/p>\n

The growth in the overall number of families was less dramatic than the growth in single-mom families; fewer cities saw a significant increase, and the increases were generally smaller.<\/span><\/p>\n

Data<\/span><\/h3>\n

Demographic data came from the one-year <\/span>American Community Survey<\/span><\/a> for 2015 and 2012. The median sale price of homes came from <\/span>Redfin<\/span><\/a>. The analysis looked at U.S. cities with a population of at least 200,000. The family percentages do not include grandparents that are legal guardians. Current polling by state came from <\/span>538<\/span>\u2019s aggregation<\/span><\/a> of recent state presidential election polls.
