Because of growth in the adult population, children now make up a smaller proportion of the state's population, going from 22.9 percent of the total population in 2010 to 20.9 percent of the total population in 2020. Additional analysis of Delaware's child population is included by race/ethnicity and by geography.censuschild populationdemographicsDelaware
