Notes:
The Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program provides model-based estimates of poverty for states, counties, and school districts.
Poverty status is determined at the family level; either everyone in the family is in poverty or no one in the family is in poverty. The characteristics of the family used to determine poverty status are: number of people, number of related children under 18, and whether the primary householder is over age 65. An income threshold is determined given a particular family's set of characteristics; if that family's income is below that threshold, the family is in poverty.
Caution is urged in making comparisons between SAIPE estimates and direct-survey poverty estimates from the 2000 Census and the American Community Survey due to differences in methodology and coverage. Users are encouraged to read more about these differences at the U.S. Census Bureau's SAIPE website (http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/saipe/).
Confidence intervals provide a measure of an estimate's variability. The larger the confidence interval in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate. Add or subtract the confidence interval values above to obtain a 90-percent confidence interval for the estimated percentage of the population in poverty.
