| NOTE: Data are from the American Community Survey and may differ from data shown in other tables produced from the Current Population Survey. Data are based on sample surveys of the noninstitutionalized population living in households. Beginning with 2006, data are also available for persons living in group quarters—both noninstitutionalized (e.g., college housing or military barracks) and institutionalized (e.g., prisons or nursing facilities); however, group quarters data are excluded from this table to ensure comparability across years. Poverty status is determined by the Census Bureau using a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition. For additional information about poverty status, see https://www.census.gov/topics/income-poverty/poverty/guidance/poverty-measures.html. Data for 2020 are not presented in this table due to collection issues associated with the coronavirus pandemic. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||||
