- These child poverty data were extracted from the American Community Survey (ACS), which is conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau (the 2009 ACS tables presented in the CDF report contain data collected in 2008; for survey design and methodology, see U.S. Census Bureau, 2009). Child poverty is defined using federal poverty guidelines.

CDF = C + D + F
CDF is an initialism whose component letters do not convey meaning to learners; the expansion (a technical file format) must be learned separately.
Etymology
CDF is short for Common Data Format, where common means 'shared' and format means 'type of file'. That's why scientists use CDF files to store and share multi-dimensional data like arrays and time series.
