The numbers behind the Census poverty data

Published



Every year, the old mainstream media discovers how many Americans are living in poverty and are without health insurance. This is made possible by the hard work of people at the U.S. Census Bureau, who for decades have been gathering data and producing a report on poverty in America.

The actual title of the report is: “Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2006 report,” which can be found at http://www.census.gov/prod/2007pubs/p60-233.pdf.
