Death of caregivers threaten child wellbeing. We estimate that 2.91 million children and adolescents in the USA had experienced death of a caregiver between 2000 and 2021. We describe the drivers of orphanhood and identify populations that are disproportionately affected. Our findings may inform policies and programs that address caregiver loss and its consequences.
