Shows poverty counts and percentages of the U.S. population with income below poverty level, by state and county. Note that beginning in 2022, data for Connecticut is reported for Planning Regions, which were recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau as county equivalents in the Federal Register on June 6, 2022. The United States Census Bureau estimates poverty statistics as part of its Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program. This program was created by the Census Bureau with support from other federal agencies, and provides more current estimates of selected income and poverty statistics than the most recent decennial census. Model-based estimates are created for states, counties, and school districts. The main objective of SAIPE is to provide updated estimates of income and poverty statistics for the administration of federal programs and the allocation of Federal funds to local jurisdictions. Estimates are modeled using a variety of data sources, including summarized information from individual federal income tax returns, and population information.
