Census Bureau Releases 1997 Income and Poverty Estimates for States and Counties


The Commerce Department's Census Bureau today released estimates of 1997 income and poverty for the nation's states and 3,141 counties. The new figures can be used to allocate federal funds for programs such as Head Start.

The model-based estimates released on the Internet were produced by combining results from the Current Population Survey, the principal source of income and employment data between censuses, and data from federal individual income tax returns, administrative records on food stamps and 1990 decennial census figures.

The estimates should not be confused with Census 2000 results. Census 2000 data on poverty at the state and county levels will not be released until 2002.

The 1997 estimates include median household income, total number of poor people, poor children under 18, poor children ages 5 to 17 related to the person maintaining the household in which they live and state-level estimates of the number of poor children under 5.

The estimates and information about the methods used to produce them are available on the Census Bureau's Internet site. This estimates program is sponsored by the Census Bureau and the departments of Education and Health and Human Services.
