Published by Statista Research Department, Apr 18, 2024
In 2021, the distribution by race and ethnicity reveals how diverse family caregivers are in the United States. That year, nearly two-thirds of family caregivers in the United States were white. However, with a 17 percent share in 2021, the second-most common race and ethnicity of family caregivers was Hispanic, followed by Black/African American.

Supplementary notes

The figures are based on a meta-analysis of four different surveys of family caregivers conducted from 2015 to 2019 among caregivers and recipients aged 18 or older who provided care at the time of the survey or within the past month; and assisted with ADLs (such as bathing and dressing), IADLs (such as managing finances or providing transportation), or medical/ nursing tasks (such as medication management or preparing special diets).

Figures are estimates.

Percentage points exceeding 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
