Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates
December 2016. The Census Bureau Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program provides annual estimates of income and poverty statistics for all school districts, counties, and states. The main objective of this program is to provide estimates of income and poverty for the administration of federal programs and the allocation of federal funds to local jurisdictions. In addition to these federal programs, state and local programs use the income and poverty estimates for distributing funds and managing programs. This section updates in later December 2016 with release of the SAIPE 2015 estimates. The SAIPE estimates are being introduced into the Situation & Outlook (S&O) Core Database. This section reviews that process, how these data fit into S&O modeling applications, and how they might impact the S&O estimates and projections. It also provides an interactive table to examine/analyze these data. An important feature of the SAIPE estimates is that they provide and alternative current (2015 in this case) estimate of median household income (MHI) for all counties. As of 2016, 2015 estimates from the 2015 American Community Survey (ACS 2015) are only available for counties 65,000 population and over. SAIPE provides a national scope MHI times series 2010 through 2015 as of late 2016. The SAIPE program produces the following county and state estimates: total number of people in poverty • number of children under age 5 in poverty (for states only) • number of related children ages 5 to 17 in families in poverty • number of children under age 18 in poverty • median household income In order to implement provisions under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended, the SAIPE data also include data for each school district: • total population • number of children ages 5 to 17 • number of related children ages 5 to 17 in families in poverty Support Using these Resources Learn more about accessing and using demographic-economic data and related analytical tools.
