Another in the amazing collection of “facts for features” collection from the U.S. Census.

Like all of these documents, they are loaded down with quick facts (and their sources) about the special day or event. Here’s just a taste of what you’ll find in the Grandparent’s Day document:

+ 6.2 million
The number of grandparents whose grandchildren younger than 18 lived with them in 2007.

+ 732,000
Number of grandparents with a disability who were caring for their grandchildren.

+ 2.6 million
The number of children who lived with both a grandmother and a grandfather in 2008.
