* Grandchildren living in the homes of their grandparents
includes only those living in a home maintained by the grandparent. This does not
include those who live in a home maintained by their parents in which granparents also
reside. In 1997 there were nearly 5.5 million children who lived with grandparents
in both types of homes.
