| 1 Refers to the person who owns or rents (maintains) the housing unit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 Refers to all children in the household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption (except a child who is the spouse of the householder). For 1960 and 1965 only, the data exclude related children who have ever been married. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 The official poverty measure consists of a set of thresholds for families of different sizes and compositions that are compared to before-tax cash income to determine a family's poverty status. For more information about how the Census Bureau determines who is in poverty, see http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/about/overview/measure.html. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 For 2009 and later years, data based on the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) are available. The SPM extends the information provided by the official poverty measure by adding to family income the value of benefits from many government programs designed to assist low-income families, subtracting taxes and necessary expenses such as child care costs (for working families) and medical expenses, and adjusting poverty thresholds for differences in housing costs. To match the population included in the current official poverty measure, SPM estimates presented in this table exclude unrelated children under age 15. For more information about the SPM, see http://www.census.gov/hhes/povmeas/methodology/supplemental/research/Short_ResearchSPM2011.pdf. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 Includes persons of Hispanic ethnicity, because data for the White, non-Hispanic and Black, non-Hispanic populations are not available for the indicated years. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 Includes Pacific Islanders as well as Asians. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: All data in this table are from the Current Population Survey (CPS); official poverty measure estimates may differ from those shown in other tables obtained from the Decennial Census and the American Community Survey (ACS). In all tables, poverty estimates are for the official measure unless otherwise noted. Supplemental Poverty Measure estimates can be generated only from the CPS, while estimates based on the official poverty measure can be generated from the CPS, Decennial Census, or ACS. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity except where otherwise noted. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
