These tables focus on alternative definitions of
income. In the poverty tables, the
same poverty thresholds were used across income definitions.
The tables labeled "RS" use a revised price index
to adjust poverty thresholds for inflation. More
about the CPI-U-RS.
These data come from the CPS Annual Social and Economic Supplement, formerly called the March
Supplement.
