The following estimates are produced for 2009 from the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program:
States & counties
School districts
all people in poverty
total population
children under age 18 in poverty
children ages 5 to 17
related children ages 5 to 17 in families in poverty
related children ages 5 to 17 in families in poverty
children under age 5 in poverty (for states only)
median household income
These model-based estimates are produced for states, counties, and school districts of all population sizes. They are produced by combining data from administrative records, intercensal population estimates, and the decennial census with direct estimates from the American Community Survey to provide consistent and reliable single-year estimates.
Accessing the Estimates
The 2009 SAIPE estimates can be accessed in many different formats:
Data tables of user-selected or complete dataset downloads
Maps of state or county poverty rates and median household income estimates
Estimates for counties or states in the sorted tables may not be statistically different from estimates for other counties or states in the tables due to uncertainty in the estimates. Please see uncertainty for information associated with model-based estimates, and also general cautions about comparing model-based estimates.
