Characteristics of the Population Below 

the Poverty Level: 1983 

This report presents detailed social and economic 

characteristics of the U.S. population below the poverty level 

in 1983 based on the March 1984 Current Population Survey 

(CPS). Poverty data are cross-classified . by such 

characteristics as race, family relationship, type of residence, 

education, work experience, and type of income received. The 

poverty level consists of a set of dollar thresholds which vary 

by family size and composition. The average poverty threshold 

for a family of four persons was $10,178 in 1983, compared 

with $9,862 in 1982. The poverty thresholds are updated 

every year to reflect changes in the annual average Consumer 

Price Index. (See appendix A for an explanation of the poverty 

definition.) In this text, the terms "poor" and "below the 

poverty level" are used interchangeably. 

HIGHLIGHTS 

The poverty rate in 1983 was 15.2 percent, not significantly different from the previous year's 15.0 percent. However, 

the number of poor persons showed sofTie evidence of an increase, rising from 34.4 million in 1982 to 35.3 million in 

1983. 

The poverty rates of the 1 982-83 period were higher than · 

in any previous year since 1966. However, poverty rates for 

the 1980's and the 1960's cannot be equated as measures 

of well-being. Families and unrelated individuals with low incomes had access to a greater range of Government benefits 

in 1983 than they did in the mid-1960's. Most of the growth 

in aid to the poor occurred in programs such as food stamps 

and Medicaid that provide assistance in a form other than 

cash. These benefits are not counted as income in determining poverty status but contribute significantly to the wellbeing of recipients. Also, the income data used to determine 

poverty status are subject to underreporting. , 

Few of the major population subgroups experienced 

changes in poverty during 1983. The text table compares the 

number of poor and the poverty rates for 1983 and 1982. 

• In 1983, there were 24.0 million Whites, 9.9 million Blacks, 

and 4.2 million persons of Spanish origin classified as poor; 

their poverty rates were 12.1 percent, 35.7 percent, and 

28.4 percent, respectively. None of these figures was 

significantly different from 1982. 

• The number of poor children under 18 years old was 13.7 

million in 1983, not significantly different from the 1982 

figure, .and their poverty rate remained at about 22 percent. There was also no significant change in the number 

of elderly persons in poverty (3. 7 million in 1983). Between 1980 and 1983, the poverty rate for persons 65 

years old and over fell from 15.7 percent to 14.1 percent, 

while the rate for all persons rose from 13.0 to 15.2 

percent. 

• The 1983 poverty figures for persons under 45 years old 

contrast sharply with those for persons 45 years and over. 

The number of poor persons in the younger group increased by 900,000 between 1982 and 1983. During the same 

period, poverty estimates for the older group remained 

about the same. 

• There were no significant changes in poverty in either 

metropolitan or nonmetropolitan areas in 1983. As in 

previous years, the poverty rate was much lower in the 

suburban portions of metropolitan areas (9.6 percent) than 

in central cities (19:Bpercent) or in nonmetropolitan areas 

(18.3 percent). Data for the four major regions present a 

mixed picture: the poverty rate declined in the South, rose 

in the Midwest (formerly the North Central Region), and 

did not change significantly in the Northeast and West 

Regions: The poverty rate for the South was 17.2 percent, 

higher than any other region. 

• There were 7.6 million families below the poverty level in 

1983, not significantly different from 1982. Neither 

married-couple families nor families with a female 

householder, no husband present, experienced any significant changes. In contrast, the number of poor unrelated 

individuals rose from 6.5 million to 6.8 million. Families 

maintained by women accounted for 4 7 percent of all poor 

families in 1983, and 62 percent of all poor unrelated individuals were females. 

• In 1983, the average (mean) income deficit for all poor 

families was $4,020, not significantly different, in real 

terms, from 1982.· This is the amount of money income 

required to raise the average poor family above the poverty 

line and is sometimes referred to as the "poverty gap." 

For unrelated individuals, the average income deficit in 

1983 was $2,230, an increase of $50, in real terms from 

1982 (significant at the 90-percent confidence level).

index developed at the Social Security Administration (SSA) 

in 1964, and revised by Federal Interagency Committees in 

1969 and 1981. A directive from the Office of Management 

and Budget, originally issued in 1969, established the Census Bureau's statistics on poverty as the standard data series 

to be used by all Federal agencies.' 

The poverty concept is a statistical measure based on the

Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce, May

(eflects the different consumption requirements of families 

in relation to their size and composition, and the age of the 

family householder. A ratio of food expenditures to income 

of one-third, based on the Department of Agriculture's 1955 

Survey of Food Consumption, was used to derive the original · 

poverty thresholds from the economy food plan. For further 

details, see appendix A. 

When analyzing CPS data on the poverty population, it is 

important to remember that these data are based on a sample and are therefore subject to sampling variability. Particular 

care should be exercised in the interpretation of figures 

based on relatively small numbers of cases as well as small 

differences between figures. An explanation of sampling 

variability can be found in appendix B, and tables 16 and 36 

show the standard errors of a number of poverty estimates. 

Data on income collected in the CPS are limited to money 

income received before payments for personal income taxes 

and deductions for Social Security, union dues, Medicare 

premiums, etc. Money income is the sum of the amounts 

received from earnings; Social Security and public assistance 

payments; dividends, interest, and rent; unemployment and I 

workers' compensation; government and private employee 

pensions; and other periodic income. (Certain money receipts 

such as capital gains are not included. l Therefore, money income does not reflect the fact that many families received 

part of their income in the form of nonmoney transfers such 

as food stamps, health benefits, and subsidized housing; that 

many farm families received noncash benefits in the form of 

rent-free housing and goods produced and consumed on the 

farm; or that noncash benefits are also received by some nonfarm residents in the form of access to business transportation and facilities, full or partial payments by business for 

retirement programs, medical and educational expenses, etc. 

These elements should be considered when comparing income levels. In addition, it should be noted that nonmoney 

income is not considered in calculating the poverty thresholds. 

!n recent years, however, receipts from nonmoney transfers, 

such as food stamps, have become an increasingly important 

element in the income of poor persons. Data from the March 

1984 CPS show that about 60 percent of all poor households 

received at least one of the following means-tested noncash 

benefits: food stamps, free or reduced-price school lunches, 

Medicaid, and publicly owned or other subsidized housing. 2 

Readers should be aware that for many different reasons 

~here is a tendency in household surveys for respondents to 

underreport their income. Underreporting tends to be more 

pronounced for income sources that are not derived from 

earnings, such as Social Security, public assistance, 

unemployment compensation, and net income from interest, 

dividends, and rentals. Overall, income earned from wages 

or salary is more accurately reported than other sources of 

income, based on comparisons with independent estimates 

derived from administrative sources. 

It also should be noted that the poverty thresholds used 

in this Census Bureau report were originally developed as a

measure of income adequacy based on money income only. 3 

Whether they would also serve as a measure of income adequacy for an income distribution which includes nonmoney 

as well as m<;~ney income is an issue which deserves 

attention. 

Beginning with the March 1980 survey, the CPS income 

supplement has included a group of questions on the receipt 

of selected noncash benefits during the p·revious year. The 

means-tested benefits covered in the March 1984 survey 

·were: food stamps, free or reduced-price school lunches, 

public or subsidized housing, and Medicaid. Questions were 

also asked about the following nonmeans-tested benefits: 

Medicare, CHAMPUS or other military health care, employerprovided pension plans, and employer-provided group health 

insurance plans. Data from this survey are contained in Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 148, Characteristics 

of Households and Persons Receiving Selected Noncash 

Benefits: 1983. Technical Paper 52, Estimates of Poverty Including the Value of Noncash Benefits: 1983, focuses on five 

major noncash benefits: food stamps, free or reduced-price 

school lunches, Medicaid, Medicare, and publicly owned or 

subsidized housing. The paper presents three different 

methods for valuing these benefits, based on ( 1 l market value, 

(2) recipient value, and (3) a poverty budget share approach. 

It is the third in a series of technical papers updating the 

estimates to 1983; Technical Papers 50 and 51 issued earlier 

contain estimates for the period 1979 through 1982. The 

report suggests that if selected benefits had been counted 

as income, the official estimate of poverty would have been 

reduced by 8 to 33 percent, depending on the range of 

benefits valued and the method used. 

CONVERSION TO THE 1980 CENSUS 

OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 

In 1980, the Bureau of the Census revised the Standard 

Occupational Classification System (SOC) for use in its tabulation program for the 1980 census and subsequent published 

reports on occupational data. Consequently, the new 

classification system was incorporated into the CPS tabulation program in January 1983. While the new system provides comparability between the CPS and other data sources, 

it causes a break in continuity for all CPS series containing 

occupational data. 

Differences between the 1970 and 1980 occupational 

systems affect classifications at all levels. Such commonly 

used identifiers as white-collar, blue-collar, professional and 

technical, craft workers, and operative occupations have been 

eliminated. These identifiers have been replaced with new 

categories which represent conceptual as well as language 

changes. Moreover, many of the components of the former 

groupings have been shifted to such an extent that they cannot be made to correspond readily to the new categories. For 

a more complete explanation and description of the changes

Poverty Profile," January 1965.

S~~!IY !:Jf ln~()me and Education 

The Survey of Income and Education (SIE) was a one-time 

survey of approximately 151 ,000 interviewed households nationwide, conducted in each State by the Bureau of the 

Census between April and July 1976. The purpose of the SIE 

was to provide estimates of the number of children 5 to 17 

years old in poverty families in each State· and the District 

of Columbia, as required by the Education Amendments of 

1974. 

Income and poverty data from the SIE have been published in a series of four .reports (one for each of the four 

major regions in the Nation): Current Population Reports, 

Series P-60, ·No. 110 (Northeast); No. 111 (North Central); 

No. 112 (South); and No. 113 (West). Each report presents 

data for the divisions and States within the region and for . 

the total United States. An additional report, Current Population Reports, Series P-20, No. 334, Demographic, Social, and 

Economic Profile of States: Spring 1976, presents summary 

data from the SIE on a wide variety of characteristics (including poverty status) for the 50 States and the District of 

Columbia, divisions:' regions, and the entire United States. 

Several of the tables include comparable data from the 1970 

census. 

Decennial Census 

Poverty data collected in the 1980 Census are available for 

all ~tates on computer files (referred to as summary tape files, 

or STF's) as well as in published reports. Summary Tape File 

3 contains poverty data cross-classified by race, age, type 

of family, and presence. of children, for States, standard 

metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's), counties, county subdivisions, incorporated places, and census tracts. Various subfiles of STF3 present information for neighborhoods, congressional districts, school districts, and zip code areas. There are 

three rep!)rt series based on STF3: Series PHC80-3, Summary

Summary Tape File 4 provides somewhat more detailed information on the age and family structure of the poverty 

population, and additional characteristics including receipt of 

Social Security and public assistance income, work experience, and ratio of income to the poverty level. All items 

in STF4 are repeated by race and Spanish origin. Data are

Appendix A. Definitions, Explanations, Limitations, 

· and Comparability of Data 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

Population coverage. This rP.port includes the civilian 

noninstitutional population of the United States and approximately 879,000 members of the Armeo Forces in the United 

States living off post or with their families on post, but excludes all other members of the Armed Forces. Unrelated individuals under 15 years old are also excluded from this report .. 

Farm-nonfarm residence. The farm population refers to rural 

residents living on farms. Beginning with the March 1980 

survey, the CPS has employed a different definition of a farm 

than used in past Current Population Surveys or decennial 

censuses before 1980. Under the new definition, as used in 

the 1974 Census of Agriculture, a farm is any place in rural 

territory from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products 

were sold in the reporting year. All other households were 

classified as nonfarm which comprises persons living in urban 

areas and persons not on farms living in rural areas. Rural 

persons in institutions, motels, and tourist camps, and those 

living on rented places where no land is used for farming, are 

classified as nonfarm population. The new definition and 

its impact on the size and composition of the farm population are discussed in Current Population Reports, Series P-27, 

No. 52. 

According to tt'!e old definition, farm residence was determin~d by responses to two questions: ( 1 I "Does this place 

you (own/rent) have 10 acres or more?" and (2) "During the 

past 12 months, how much did sales of crops, livestock and I 

other farm products from this place amount to (under $50, 

$50 to $249, $250 to $999, or $1,000 or morel?" The 

household was classified as being in the farm population if 

either a) the acreage response was "yes" and sales amounted 

to $50 or more, or bl the acreage response was "no" and 

sales amounted to $250 or more. 

Metropolitan-nonmetropolitan residence. The metropolitan 

population consists of persons living in standard metropolitan 

statistical areas (SMSA'sl as defined in the 1970 census. Except in New England, an SMSA is a county or group of contiguous counties which contains at least one city of 50,000 

inhabitants or more, or "twin cities" with a combined population of at least 50,000. In addition to the county or counties 

containing such a city or cities, contiguous counties are included in an SMSA if, according to certain criteria, they are 

essentially metropolitan in character and are socially and 

economically integrated with the central city. In New England, 

SMSA's consist of towns and cities, rather than counties. 

This report contains data for the 20 largest SMSA's and 

the central cities of the five largest SMSA's as defined in the 

1970 census. The counties (or towns and cities) w-hich comprised these SMSA's in the 1970 census can be found in 

1970 Census of Population, Vol. 1, Characteristics of the 

Population, Part A, "Number of Inhabitants." 

Central cities. Each SMSA must include at least one central 

city, and the complete title of an SMSA identifies the central 

city or cities. If only one central city is designated, then it 

must have 50,000 inhabitants or more. The area title may 

include, in addition to the largest city, up to two city names 

on the basis and in the order of the following criteria: (1 I the· 

additional city has at least 250,000 inhabitants or 121 the additional city has a population of one-third or more of that of 

the largest city and a minimum population of 25,000. An exception occurs where two cities have contiguous boundaries 

and constitute, for economic and social purposes, a single 

community of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have 

a population of at least 15,000. 

Geographic regions. The four major regions of the United 

States for which data are presented in this report represent 

groups of States, as follows: 

Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New 

Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode 

Island, and Vermont. 

Midwest (formerly the North Ce~tral Region): Illinois, 

Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, 

Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. 

South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,. Louisiana, Ma~yland, 

Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. 

West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, 

Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, 

and Wyoming. 

North and West: Northeast, Midwest (formerly the North 

Central Region) and West Regions combined.

Poverty areas. For this report poverty areas are defined in 

terms of census tracts (in metropolitan areas) or minor civil 

divisions (townships, districts, etc. in nonmetropolitan areas) 

in which 20 percent or more of the population was below the 

poverty level in 1969. 

For further details, see 1970 Census of Population Report 

PC(2)-9B, Low-Income Areas in Large Cities; and Supplementary Reports PC(S1 1-65 to PC(S1 )-103, Low-Income 

Neighborho~ds in Large Cities: 1970. 

Tenure. A housing unit is "owner occupied" if the owner or 

co-owner lives in the unit, even if it is mortgaged or not fully 

paid for. A cooperative or condominium unit is "owner occupied" only if the owner or co-owner lives in it. All other 

occupied units are classified as "ren~er occupied," including 

units rented for cash rent and those occupied without payment of cash rent. For renter-occupied units, information was 

also obtained as to whether the unit was publicly owned or 

subsidized by the Federal, State, or local government. 

Income. For each person in the sample 15 years old and over, 

questions were asked on the amount of money income received in the preceding calendar year from each of the following sources: ( 1) money wages or salary; (2) net income from 

nonfarm self-employment; (3) net income from farm selfemployment; (4) Social Security or railroad retirement; (5) 

Supplemental Security income; (6) public assistance or 

welfare payments; (71 interest on savings or other investments which pay interest; (8) dividends, income from. 

estates or trusts, or net rental income; (9) veteran's payments 

or unemployment and worker's compensation; (10) private 

pensions or government employee pensions; ( 11 I alimony or 

child support, regular contributions from persons not living 

in the household, and other periodic .income. 

All sources of income may be combined into two major 

types: 

Total money earnings. The algebraic sum of money wages 

or salary and net income from farm and nonfarm selfemployment. 

Income other than earnings. The algebraic sum of all 

sources of money income except wages and salaries and income from self-employment. 

It should be noted that although the income statistics refer 

to receipts during·the-preceding year the characteristics of -

the person, such as age and labor force status, and the composition of families refer to the time of the survey. The income 

of the family does not include amounts received by persons 

who were members of the family during all or part of the income year if these persons no longer resided with the family 

at the time of enumeration. However, family income includes 

amounts reported by related persons who did not reside with 

the family during the' income year but who were·- membersof the family at the time of enumeration. 

Data on consumer income collected in the CPS by the 

Bureau of the Census cover money income received (exclusive 

of certain money receipts such as capital gains) before 

payments for personal income taxes, Social Security, union 

dues, Medicare deductions, etc. Therefore, money income 

does not reflect the fact that many families receive part of 

their income in the form of nonmoney transfers such as food 

stamps, health benefits, and subsidized housing; that many 

farm families receive nonmoney income in the form of rentfree housing and goods produced and consumed on the farm; 

or that nonmoney income is a_lso received by some nonfarm 

residents in the form of access to business transportation and 

facilities, full or partial payments by business for retirement 

programs, medical and educational expenses, etc. These 

elements should be considered when comparing income 

levels. Moreover, readers should be aware that for many different reasons there is a tendency in household surveys for 

respondents to underreport their income. From an analysis 

of independently derived income estimates, it has been determined that income earned from wages or salaries is much 

better reported than other sources of income, and is nearly 

equal to independent estimates of aggregate income. 

The various sources for which income is reported are defined as follows: 

Money w~ges or salary is total money earnings received 

for work performed as an employee during the income year. 

It includes wages, salary, Armed Forces pay, commissions, 

tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned, before 

deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union 

dues, etc. 

Net income from nonfarm self-employment is net money 

income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one's own 

business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross 

receipts include the value of all goods sold and services 

rendered. Expenses include cost of goods purchased, rent, 

heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries 

paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. In 

general, inventory changes were considered in determining 

net income; replies based on income tax returns or other official records do reflect inventory changes. However, when 

values of inventory changes were not reported, net income 

figures exclusive of inventory changes were accepted. The 

value of saleable merchandise consumed by the proprietors 

of retail stores is not included as part of net income. 

Net income from farm self-employment is net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) frorri the 

operation of a farm by a person on his own account, as an 

owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the 

value of all products sold, government crop loans, money 

received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood, sand, gravel, etc. 

Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and 

other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, 

=- -depreciationctiarges. cash' rent, 'interest on farm m'ortgages, 

farm building repairs, farm taxes (not State and Federal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net 
income. In general, inventory changes were considered in 

determining net income only when they were accounted for 

in replies based on income tax returns or other official records 

which reflect inventory changes; otherwise, inventory 

changes were not taken into account. 

Social Security includes Social Security pensions and survivors' benefits, and permanent disability insurance payments 

made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance. Railroad retirement insurance 

checks from the U.S. Government are also included. Medicare 

reimbursements are not included. 

Supplemental Security income includes payments made by 

Federal, State, and local welfare agencies to low-income persons who are (1) aged (65 years old or over), (2) blind or (3) 

disabled. 

Public assistance or welfare payments include public 

assistance payments such as aid to families with dependent 

children and general assistance. Separate payments received 

for hospital or other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded from this item. 

· Dividends, interest on savings or other investments, income 

from estates or trusts, net rental income or royalties include 

dividends from stockholdings or membership in associations; 

interest on savings or any type of investment which pays interest; periodic receipts from estates or trust funds; net income from rental of a house, store, or other property to 

others; receipts from boarders or lodgers; and net ·royalties. 

Unemployment compensation, veterans' payments, or 

workers' compensation include (1) unemployment compensation received from government unemployment insurance 

agencies or private companies during periods of unemployment and any strike benefits received from union funds; (2) 

money paid periodically by the Veterans' Administration to 

disabled members of the Armed Forces or to survivors of 

decreased veterans, subsistence allowances paid to veterans 

for education and on-the-job training, as well as so-called 

"refunds" paid to ex-servicemen as Gl insurance premiums; 

and (3) workers' compensation received periodically from 

public or private insurance companies for injuries incurred at 

work. The cost of this insurance must have been paid by the 

employer and not by the person. 

Private and government employee pensions include ( 1 ) 

private pensions or retirement benefits paid to a retired person 

or his survivors by a former' employer or by a union, either 

directly or through an insurance company; (2) government 

employee pensions paid by Federal, State, county, or other 

governmental agencies to former employees (including 

members of the Armed Forces) or their survivors. 

Annuities, alimony, regular contributions from persons not 

living in the household, and other periodic income include the 

following types of income: ( 1 ) periodic receipts from annuities 

or insurance; (2) alimony and child support; (3) contributions 

received periodically from persons not living in the household; 

(4) other periodic income such as military family allotments, 

177 

net gambling winnings, and other kinds of periodic income 

other than earnings. 

Receipts not counted as Income. Receipts from the following sources were not included as income: (1) money received 

from the sale of property, such as stocks, bonds, a house, 

or a car (unless the person was engaged in the business of 

selling such property, in which case the net proceeds would 

be counted as income from self-employment); (2) withdrawals 

of bank deposits; (3) money borrowed; (4) tax refunds; (5) 

gifts; and (6) lump-sum inheritances or insurance payments. 

Total money Income. The algebraic sum of money wages and 

salaries, net income from self-employment, and income other 

than earnings represents total money income. The total income of a family is the algebraic sum of the amounts received 

by all income recipients in the family. 

The income tables for families and unrelated individuals in~ 

elude in the lowest income group those who were classified 

as having no income in the income year and those reporting 

a loss in net income from farm and nonfarm self-employment 

or in rental income. Many of-these were living on income. "in 

kind," savings, or gifts; or were newly constituted families, 

unrelated individuals who had recently left families, or families 

in which the sole breadwinner had recently died or had left 

the household. However, many of the families and unrelated 

individuals who reported no income probably had some money 

income which was not recorded in the survey. 

Median income. The median income is the amount which 

divides the distribution into two equal groups, one having incomes above the median, and the other having incomes below 

the median. 

Mean income. The mean income is the amount obtained by 

dividing the total income of a group by the number of families 

or unrelated individuals (as appropriate) in that group. 

Income per family member. The income per family member 

is the average amount of income available to every man, 

woman, and child in a family. Income per family member is 

derived by dividing the total family income of a group by the 

number of family members in the same· group. 

Poverty definition. Poverty statistics presented in this report 

are based on a definition developed by the Social Security 

Administration in 1 964 and revised in 1969 and 1981 . 

Statistics presented in Census Bureau reports prior to 

publication of Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 

-68, Poverty in the United States, 1959 to 1968, were based 

on the poverty index developed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 1964. This index provided a range of 

income cutoffs adjusted by such factors as family size, sex 

of the family head, number of children under 18 years old, 

and farm-nonfarm residence. At the core of this definition of 

poverty was the economy food plan, the least costly of four 

nutritionally adequate food plans designed by the Department 
178 

of ~griculture. It· was determined from the Department of 

Agriculture's 1955 survey of food consumption that families 

of three or more persons spent approximately one-third .of 

their income on food; the poverty level for these families was, 

therefore, set at three times the cost of the economy food 

plan. For smaller families and persons living alone, the cost 

of the economy food plan was multiplied by factors that were 

slightly higher in order to compensate for the relatively larger 

fixed expenses of these smaller households. Annual revisions 

of these SSA poverty cutoffs were based on price changes 

of the items in the economy food budget. 

As a result of deliberations of a Federal Interagency Committee in 1969, the following two modifications to the original 

SSA definition of poverty were recommended: (1) that the 

SSA thresholds for nonfarm families be retained for the base 

year 1963, but that annual adjustments in the levels be based 

on changes in· the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rather than on 

changes in the cost of food included in the economy food 

plan; and (2) that the farm thresholds be raised from 70 to 

85 percent of the corresponding nonfarm levels. The ·combined impact of these two modifications resulted in an increase of 360,000 poor families and 1.6 million poor persons 

in 1967. 

In 1980, another interagency committee recommended 

three additional modifications that were implemented in the 

March 1982 CPS as well as in the 1980 census: (1) elimination of separate thresholds for farm families, (2) averaging 

of thresholds for female-householder and "all other" families, · 

and (3) extension of the poverty matrix to families with 9 or 

more members. For further details, see the section, "Changes 

in the Definition of Poverty," in Current Population Reports, 

Series P-60, No. 133. 

The poverty thresholds, rise each year by the same percentage as the annual average Consumer Price Index. Table A-1 

shows the change in the CPI between 1 959 and 1983 and 

the corresponding thresholds for a family of four. 

Alternate level. Because the poverty definition currently in 

use by the Federal Government does not meet all the needs 

of the analysts of the data, a variation was introduced at the 

same time that modifications were made to the SSA poverty 

index. This alternate cutoff, set at 125 percent of the official 

government standard, is obtained by multiplying the income 

cutoffs at the poverty level by 1.25. Thus, the income cutoff 

for a family of four at 125 percent of the poverty level is 

$12,723 in 1983. Tables 2, 39, and 40 pr~sent selected data 

for persons, families, and unrelated individuals below 125 percent of the poverty level. Also, some of the detailed tables 

shown in this report have been tabulated for those below 1 25 

percent of the poverty level. Requests for these unpublished 

data, giving a specific description of the figures desired, may 

be made in writing to the Chief, Population Division, Bureau 

of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. 

Weighted average thresholds at the poverty level. As shown

Census to determine the poverty status of families and

'For years prior to 1 981, average thresho.ld for a nonfarm family of 

four is shown. 

unrelated individuals consist of a set of 48 thresholds 

arranged in a two-dimensional matrix consisting of family size 

(from one person, i.e., unrelated individuals, to nine or more 

persons) cross-classified by presence and number of family 

members under 18 years old (from no children present to eight 

or more children present). Unrelated individuals and twoperson families are further differentiated by the age of the 

- individual or family householder (under 65_years and 65 years 

and over). The total family income of each family in the sample 

is tested against the appropriate dollar threshold to determine 

the poverty status of that family. If the family's total income 

is less than its corresponding cutoff, the family is classified 

as below the poverty level. The average thresholds shown 

in table A-2 were weighted by the presence and number of 

children. For a given size of family, the weighted average 

threshold for.~,that group is obtained. by .multiplying the 

threshold for each presence and number of children category 

within the given family size by the number of families in that 

category. These products are then aggregated across the en-

tire range of presence and number of children categories, and 

the total aggregate is divided by the total number of families 

in the group to yield the weighted average threshold at the 

poverty level for that size family. Because family composition 

does not remain constant from year to-year, the weighted 

average thresholds for 1983 will not reflect, identically, the 

change in the CPI between 1983 and earlier years. 

Since the basic thresholds used to determine the poverty 

status of families and unrelated individuals are applied to all 

families and unrelated individuals, the weighted poverty 

thresholds are derived using all families and unrelated individuals rather than just those families and unrelated individuals 

classified as below the poverty level. To obtain the weighted 

poverty thresholds for families and unrelated individuals below 

125 percent of the poverty level, the weighted thresholds may 

be multiplied directly by 1.25. 

Income deficit. Income deficit is the difference between the 

total income of families and unrelated individuals below the 

povertY level, and their respective poverty thresholds. In computing the income deficit, families reporting a net income loss 

are assigned zero dollars and for such cases the deficit is equal 

to the poverty threshold. This measure provides an estimate 

of the amount which would be required to raise the incomes 

of all poor families and unrelated individuals to their respective 

poverty thresholds. The income deficit is thus a measure of 

the degree of impoverishment of a family or unrelated individual. However, caution must be exercised in comparing the 

average deficit of families classified by the race or sex of the 

householder. Since the poverty thresholds used in this report. 

are based on family size and composition, apparent~differences in the average income deficits may, to some extent, 

be a function of the differences in these characteristics. 

Median income deficit. The median income deficit· is the 

amount which divides the distribution into two equal groups, 

one having an income deficit above the median and the other 

having an income deficit below the median. 

Mean income deficit. The mean income deficit is the 

amount obtained by dividing the total income deficit of a group

Deficit per family member. The deficit per family member 

is the average amount of money necessary to· raise every man, 

woman, and child in a family out of poverty. The deficit per 

family member is derived by dividing the total family income 

deficit of a group by the number of family members in the 

same group. 

Household. A household consists of all the persoris who occupy a housing unit. A house, an apartment or other group 

of rooms, or a single room, is regarded as a housing unit, when 

it is occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living 

quarters; that is, .when the occupants do not live and eat with 

any other persons in the structure and there is either ( 1 ) direct 

access from the outside or through a common hall or (2) a 

kitchen or cooking equipment for the exclusive use of the 

occupants. 

A household includes the related family members and all 

the unrelated persons, if any, such as lodgers, foster children, 

wards, or employees who share the housing unit. A person 

living alone in a housing unit, or a group of unrelated persons 

sharing a housing unit as partners, is also counted as a 

household. The count of households excludes group quarters. 

Group quarters. All persons who are not members of 

households are regarded as living in group quarters. Group 

quarters are living arrangements for groups containing five 

or more persons unrelated to the person in charge, such as 

residents of lodging and boarding houses. Persons living in 

military barracks and inmates of institutions were excluded 

from the survey. 

Householder. The householder is the first adult listed on the 

C_PS questionnaire. The instructions call for listing first the 

person (or one of the persons) in whose name the home is 

owned or rented. If the. house is owned jointly by a married 

couple, either the husband or the wife may be. listed first, 

thereby becoming the reference person, or householder, to 

J 
180 

whom the relationship of the other household members is 

recorded. One person in each household is designated as the 

householder. The number of householders, therefore, is equal 

to the number of households. 

Family. The term "family" refers to a group of two or more 

persons related by birth, marriage, or adoption who reside 

together; all such persons are considered as members of. one 

family. For example, if the son of the person who maintains 

the household and the son's wife are members of the 

household, they are treated as members of the parent's 

family. Every family must include a householder; two or more 

people living in the same household who are related to one 

another, but are not related to the householder, form an 

"unrelated subfamily" and are not included in the count of 

families. 

Subfamily. A subfamily is a married couple with or without 

children, or one parent with on~ or more own single children 

under 18 years old living in a household but not including 

among its members the. person or couple maintaining the 

household. Because a subfamily does not include a househoider, it is by definition excluded from the count of families. 

There are two kinds of subfamilies, related and unrelated: 

Related subfamily. A related subfamily is a subfamily whose 

members are related to the person or couple maintaining the 

household. The most common example of a related subfamily 

is a young married couple sharing the home of the husband's 

or wife's parents. Members of a related subfamily are also 

members of the householder's family. 

Unrelated subfamily. An unrelated subfamily is a subfamily 

whose members are not related to the person or couple maintaining the household. Members of unrelated subfamilies may 

include such persons as guests, lodgers, or resident 

employees and their relatives living in a household. Unrelated 

subfamily members are not part of the householder's family. 

Even though unrelated subfamilies are not counted as families, 

they are treated as families for the purpose of determining 

whether their members are above or below the poverty level. 

Unrelated individuals. The term "unrelated individuals" refers 

to persons 1 5 years old and over (other than inmates of institutions) ~l'lo are not living 'f!ith any relatives. An unrelated 

individual may ( 1) constitute a one-person household; (2) be 

part of a household including one or more other families or 

unrelated individuals; or (3) reside in group quarters such as 

a rooming house. Thus, a widow living by herself or with one 

or more other persons not related to her, a lodger not related 

to anyone else in the household, and a resident employee with 

no relatives living in the household are examples of unrelated 

individuals~- _ 

Size of family. The term "size of family" refers to the number 

of persons who are living together and are related to the 

householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. 

Own children and related children. "Own" children in a family 

are sons and daughters, including stepchildren and adopted 

children, of the householder. Similarly, "own"· children in a 

subfamily are sons and daughters of the married couple or 

parent in the subfamily. "Related" children in a family include 

own children and all other children in the household who are 

related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. 

All children shown as members of subfamiies are own 

children. 

Marital status. The marital status classification identifies four 

major categories: single, married, wid~wed, and divorced. 

These terms refer to the marital status at the time of the 

enumeration. 

The category "married" is further divided into "married, 

spouse present," "separated," and "other married, spouse 

absent." A householder is classified as "married, spouse present" if the spouse was reported as a member of the 

household, even though he or she may have been temporarily 

absent on busines or on vacation, visiting, in a hospital, etc., 

at the time of the enumeration. Persons reported as separated 

include those with legal separations, those living apart with 

intentions of obtaining a divorce, and other persons permanently or temporarily separated because of marital discord. 

The group "other married, spouse absent" includes married 

persons living apart becaus.e either the wife or the husband 

was employed and living at a considerable distance from 

home, was residing in an institution, had moved to another 

area, or had a different place of residence for any other reason 

except separation as defined above. 

Age. The age classification is based on the age of the person 

at his last birthday. 

Race. The population is divided into three groups on the basis 

of race: White, Black, and "other races." The last category 

includes Indians, Japanese, Chinese, and any other race except White and Black. "Other races" are sometimes shown 

in combination with the Black population. 

Persons of Spanish origin. Persons of Spanish origin were 

identified by a question that asked for self-identification of 

the person's origin or descent. Respondents were asked to 

select their origin (and the origin of other household members) 

_from a "flash card" listing ethnic origins. Persons of Spanish 

origin, in particular, were those who indicated that their origin 

was Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South 

American, or some other Spanish origin. It should be noted 

that persons of Spanish origin can be of any race. 

Years of school completed. Data on years of school completed 

were derived from the combination of answers to questions 

concerning the highest grade of school attended by the pers~n -;nd whether ~r ~otthat- grade was1inis1le(f The questions on educational attainment apply only to progress in 

"regular" schools. Such schools include graded public, 

private, and parochial elementary and high schools (both 
junior and senior), colleges,. universities, and professional 

schools, whether day schools or night schools. Thus, regular 

schooling is that which may advance a person toward an 

elementary school certificate or a high school diploma, or a 

college, university, or professional school degree. Schooling 

in other than regular schools was counted only if the credits 

obtained were regarded as transferable to a school in the 

regular school system. 

Labor force and employment status. The definitions of labor 

force and employment status relate to the population 1 5 years 

old and over. 

Employed. Employed persons include ( 1) all civilians who, 

during the survey week, did any work at all as paid employees 

or in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, 

or who worked 1 5 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm 

or in a business operated by a member of the family, and (2) 

all those who were not working but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of 

illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, 

or because they were taking time off for perso.nal reasons, 

whether or not they_were paid by their .employers for time 

off, and whether or not they were seeking other jobs. Excluded from the employed. group are persons whose only 

activity consisted of work around the house (such as own 

home housework, ·painting or repairing own home, etc.) or 

volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar 

organizations. 

Unemployed. Unemployed persons are those civilians who, 

during the survey week, had no employment but were 

available for work and ( 1) had engaged in any specific jobseeking activity within the past 4 weeks, such as registering 

at a public or private employment office, meeting with prospective employers, checking with friends or relatives, placing 

or answering advertisements, writing letters of application, 

or being on a union or professional register; (2) were waiting 

to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; 

or (3) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job 

within 30 days. 

Labor force. Persons are classified as .in the labor force if 

they were employed as civilians, unemployed, or in the Armed 

Forces during the survey week. The "civilian labor force" is 

comprised of all civilians classified as employed or 

unemployed. 

Not in the labor force. All civilians 15 years old and over 

who are not classified as employed or unemployed are defined 

as "not in the labor force." This group of persons who are 

neither employed nor seeking work includes those engaged 

only in own home housework, attending school, or unable 

to work because of long-term physical or mental illness; persons who are retired or too old to work; seasonal workers 

for whom the survey week fell in an off season; and the voluntarily idle. Persons doing only unpaid family work (Jess than 

181 

15 hours during the survey week) are also classified as not 

in the labor force. 

Occupation and class of worker. Persons are classified 

according to the civilian job held longest during the year. Persons who held two jobs or more were reported ih the job at 

which they worked the greatest number of weeks. 

The occupation groupings included in this report are based 

on the classification system used in the 1980 census. The 

data included in previous Current Population Reports in the 

P-60 series, starting with No. 81, were based on the 

classification system used in the 1970 census. For an explanation and description of the changes from the old to the new 

system, see the February 1983 issued of "Employment and 

Earnings," published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Class of worker refers to the subdivision of workers into 

three groups: wage and salary workers, self-employed 

workers, and unpaid family workers. The first group refers 

to persons working for wages, salaries, commissions, tips, 

pay "in kind," or at piece rate for private employer or for any 

government unit. The second group refers to persons working 

in their own business, profession, or trade, for profit or fees. 

.The third group refers to persons working without pay in a 

business operated by a member of the household to whom 

they are related by birth or marriage. 

Work experience. A person with work experience is one who, 

during the preceding calendar year, did any civilian work for 

pay or profit or worked without pay on a family-operated farm 

or business at any time during the year, on a part-time or fulltime basis. 

Weeks worked in the income year. Persons are classified according to the number of different weeks, during the 

preceding calendar year, in which they did any civilian work 

for pay or profit (including paid vacations and sick leave) or 

worked without pay on a family-operated farm or business. 

Part-time or full-time jobs. A person is classified as having 

worked at part-time jobs during the preceding calendar year, 

if he worked at civilian jobs which provided less than 35 hours 

of work per week in a majority of the weeks in which he 

worked during the year. He is classified as having worked at 

full-time jobs if he worked 35 hours or more per week during 

a majority of the weeks in which he worked. 

Year-round, full-time worker. A year-round, full-time worker 

is one who worked primarily at full-time civilian jobs (35 hours 

or more per week) 50 weeks or more during the preceding 

calendar year. 

Number of workers. The number includes all persons in the 

family who worked at anytime during the year. 

Nonworker. A nonworker is one who did not do any civilian 

work in the calendar year preceding the survey. 
182 

Main reason for w'orklng part year. For persons who worked 

1 to 49 weeks during the year, the main reason for working 

part year is based on the response to the question "What 

were you doing most- of the remaining weeks?" 

Main reason for not working. For persons who reported that 

they did not work at a civilian job for pay or profit or ~n d 

family-operated farm or business during the year, the main 

reason for not working is derived from-the response to the 

question "What were you doing most of last year?" 

Rounding. Percentages are rounded to the nearest tenth of 

a percent; therefore, the percentages in a distribution do not 

always add to exactly 100.0 percent. The totals, however, 

are always shown as 1 00.0. Moreover, individual figures are 

rounded the nearest thousand without being adjusted to group 

totals, which are independently rounded; percentages are 

based on the unrounded numbers. 

Symbols. A dash (-) represents or rounds to zero. The 

symbol "B" means that the base for the derived figures is 

less than 75,000. The symbol "X" means not applicable, 

. "NA" means not available, and 'the symbol "r" means 

revised. 

Base figures. The base figures shown for 1980 and later years 

· were prepared by inflating weighted sample results to agree 

with independent estimates of the population based on 

statistics updated from the 1980 census. The base figures 

shown for 1969 to 1979 were based on statistics updated 

from the 1970 census, whereas the figures for the years 1961 

to 1968 were inflated to estimates derived from the 1960 

census. The data for the years prior to 1961 were based on 

the 1950 census. A more detailed description of this change 

can be found in an article entitled "Revisions in Current 

Population Survey," Employment and Earnings, Vol 18, 

No. ~. February 1972, published by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics. 

The introduction of population controls and estimation procedures based on the 1980 census raised the number of persons from 217.8 million to 222.9 million in the March 1980 

CPS and the number of families from 58.4 to 59.6 million. 

The number of persons and families below the poverty level 

rose proportionately, from 25.3 to 26.1 million, and from 5.3 

to 5.5 million, respectiveJy. 

LIMITATIONS OF THE POVERTY CONCEPT 

In analyzing data on the low-income population, the following limitations should be noted. The poverty concept has been 

developed in order to identify, in dollar terms, a minimum level 

of income adequacy for families of different types in keeping 

with American consumption plitterns~Based on an analysis 

of the percent of income devoted to food expenditures, an 

estimate was developed of the minimum cost at which an 

American family, making average choices, can be provided 

with a diet meeting recommended nutritional goals. Consequently, it is an overall statistical yardstick which reflects the 

different consumption requirements of families of different 

size, taking into account family composition. Insofar as individual circumstances or consumption patterns differ, the 

dollar value of the poverty threshold for a given family size 

may not represent the money income required by an individual 

family to maintain a level of economic well being equivalent 

to other families with similar incomes. For a discussion of the 

limitations of money income as a measure of economic status, 

see "Trends and Composition of the Low-Income Population," by Renee Miller and Arno Winard, Proceedings of the 

Social Statistics Section, American Statistical Association, 

1974. 

A detailed review of the poverty definition was completed 

in 1976. The Education Amendments of 1974 required the 

Assistant Secretary of Education, Department of Health, 

Education, and Welfare, to supervise a "thorough study of 

the manner in which the relative measure of poverty for use 

in the financial assistance program authorized by Title I of 

the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 may 

be more accurately and currently developed." At the end of 

·1974 an interagency Poverty Studies Task Force was. 

established under the leadership of HEW which undertook an 

intensive review of the present definition of poverty and of 

the implications of various alternative measurement schemes. 

The findings of this study have been summarized in the report 

entitled "The Measure of Poverty" which was transmitted 

to Congress in April 1976. 

Because of increasing interest in the effect of the receipt 

of noncash benefits on the income and poverty data, the 

March 1980 CPS introduced supplemental questions covering a selected group of such benefits. Data on this subject 

from the March 1984 survey are presented in Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 148, Characteristics of 

Households and Persons Receiving Selected Noncash 

Benefits: 19B3. Results of research conducted at the Census Bureau on tne valuation of in-kind transfers are presented 

in Technical Paper 52, Estimates of Poverty Including the 

Value of Noncash Benefits: 1983. 

COMPARABILITY OF ESTIMATES FROM 

MARCH 1984 CPS WITH ESTIMATES FOR 

PREVIOUS YEARS 

Estimates from the March 1984 CPS are in some instances 

not strictly comparable with estimates for previous years due 

to several factors. Among these factors are changes in ( 1 I 

population controls and metropolitan residence definitions; 

(2) collection of income and work experience data; (3) 

. noninterviews, nonresponses, and allocations; (4) questionnaire wording and procedures; (5) change in sample size; and 

(6) definition ofth-e income universe. Each'of these factors 

is discussed in the following sections, and readers should consider these differences when comparing current with previous 

years' estimates. 
Population Controls and Metropolitan 

Residence Definitions 

Beginning with 1979, the data shown in this report are based on population controls derived from the 1980 census. The 

data for 1969 to 1978 reflect 1970 census-based population controls, while figures for previous years are tied in with 

1960 census-based controls. Basically, these changes should 

have no substantial impact on summary measures, such as 

medians and means. and on proportional measures, such as 

percent distributions and poverty rates. However, the 

changes may have more impact on the population levels in 

different sub-groupings such as the total number of persons 

or families either overall, within some particular income interval, or below the poverty level. A detailed description of 

these changes appears in the Bureau of Labor Statistics 

report, Employment and Earnings, Vol. 18, No. 8, February 

1972. 

The figures shown for metropolitan areas are based on 

standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's) as defined 

on the basis of the 1970 census; those published prior to the 

March 1973 .CPS referred to SMSA's defined. on the basis 

of the 1960 census; There are significant differences in the 

population classified as metropolitan from each of these 

definitions. For the 1970 definition of SMSA's, see 1970 Census of Population, Vol. 1, Characteristics of the Population, 

Part A, "Number of Inhabitants." 

The number of poor persons in 1969 residing in 

metropolitan areas based on the 1970 definitions and procedures is about 760,000 higher than that based on the 1960 

definitions and procedures. This difference arises partly 

because of the addition of new SMSA's and the expansion 

of existing ones, resulting in an increase in the size of the total 

metropolitan population. 

Comparability of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan data from 

the March 1984 CPS with data for previous years. Changes 

in CPS design and procedures over the last several years have 

made the annual series of sample PO?Uiation data for 

metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas inconsistent. Analytic 

comparisons of year-to-year changes in these figures should 

be avoided. Trends in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan 

population growth over a 5-year or 1 0-year period should not 

be appreciably affected by the procedural cha~ges. 

Major revisions to the CPS sample design and estimation 

methods have involved the expansion of the number of sample units. The incorporation of approximately 1 0,000 supplemental housing units into the March CPS sample in 1977 was 

accompanied by new procedures for inflating the sample 

results to reflect national estimates. It was determined subsequent to the introduction of the additional sample that the , 

new inflating (weighting) procedures used for processing both 

the March 1977 and March 1978 CPS supplement data had 

resulted in an apparent overestimate of the nonmetropolitan 

population and corresponding underestimate of the 

metropolitan population for those years. For the March 1979 

CPS, another revision of the weighting process was 

183 

introduced to correct the problem discovered in the earlier 

procedures. The result of this change was a large spurious 

increase in the metropolitan population and decrease in the 

nonmetropolitan population relative to March 1978 CPS 

levels. 

The March 1979 and later metropolitan-nonmetropolitan 

population .estimates also reflect other operational changes 

including the introduction of a coverage improvement sample 

designed to provide greater accuracy in survey estimation. 

The net effect of all changes ·in procedure was to increase 

the· metropolitan area estimates. Research and detailed 

analysis of the impact of each procedural change on. the 

population estimates is under way and the results will be 

issued in a forthcoming technical report. 

Collection of Income and Work Experience Data 

This report presents data for persons and ·family householders with varying amounts of work experience. In the 

surveys from March 1966 to March 1969, civilian work experience data collected in the February and April surveys were 

matched with income data collected in the March survey for 

all households. In the surveys prior to March 1966 only persons included in the February and March surveys were 

matched. 

Nonmatched persons included in the February and March 

interviews or the March and April interviews were almost 

always assigned work experience information from actual 

respondents with similar economic and demographic characteristics. Work experience values were estimated only when 

there was a nonmatched person with a given classification, 

but no respondent with similar economic and demographic 

characteristics. 

No April or February 1969 survey record could be found 

for about 6 percent of the people included in the March 1969 

survey. The major reasons for these nonmatches were migration, noninterviews, and coding errors. Beginning· with the 

March 1970 survey, in order to eliminate the nonmatches and 

to improve the consistency between income and work experience data, both the income and work experience data were 

collected together in the March surveys. 

The remaining persons, whose work experience data were 

assigned, resulted from inconsistencies between their work 

experience and income data and from persons who did not 

answer the work experience questions. 

Noninterviews, Nonresponses, and Allocations 

In the March 1984 CPS, no interview was obtained for 

approximately 5 .Percent of the 62,000 households in the 

sample. No interview was obtained at these households during the enumeration week for reasons such as "no one 

home," "temporarily absent," or "refusals." In order to 

account for these households, the weights assigned to 

households in which interviews were obtained have been increased slightly. This "noninterview" adjustment procedure · 
184 

adjusts the weights of sample households by race of head 

and within a specified set of geographical restrictions. 

The nonresponse problem, which is sometimes referred to 

as "item nonresponse," is a serious problem in most 

household surveys and is especially troublesome for income. 

In many cases, even though an interview is obained, complete information for all of the income questions is not 

available, unknown, or refused. In March 1983 the income 

data were incomplete for about 28 percent of the persons 

15 years old and over. About 34 percent of the families had 

one or more members with incomplete income information. 

In order that the maximum amount of information can be 

utilized, missing income items are imputed or allocated by 

values which are obtained from active respondents with 

similar economic and demographic characteristics. 

Although nonresponse rates for families by poverty status 

are not available; it is known that families in the lower income 

intervals tend to have lower nonresponse rates than those 

in the middle and upper income intervals, This is due in part 

to the fact that lower income families have less complicated 

financial arrangements than those in other income groups. 

For a more. detailed discussion of this topic see "Income 

Nonresponses in the Current Population Survey" by Mltsuo 

. Ono and Herman P. Miller published in Proceedings of the 

Social Statistics Section, American Statistical Association, 

1969. 

Questionnaire Wording and Procedures 

A modified version of an experimental questionnaire which 

was tested on three-eighths of the March 1979 sample was 

used for the full sample beginning in March 1980. The experimental questionnaire contained a number of modifications 

designed to improve income reporting. For further discussion, 

see the section, "Modifications to the March 1980 CPS" in 

Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 130. 

· Changes in Sample Size 

Starting with the March 1977 CPS, the basic monthly sample was expanded from about 56,000 housing units to 

68,000. The expanded sample was used until the March 

1982 survey, when the sample size was reduced to about 

62,000 households. Neither of these changes in sample size 

had any major effect on the data for the poverty population. 

Definition of the Income Universe. 

Starting in the March 1980 CPS, a decision was made to 

restrict the universe for presenting income data to person 15 

years old and over instead of 14 years old and over. This 

change was made to ·establish consistency between the 

results from the March 1980 CPS and the 1980 Census of 

Population. Although income data were collected for persons 

14 years old and over, the income of the 14-year"olds was 

not used for processing and tabulation purposes. · 

The March 1980 CPS also incorporated the use of the 

"householder" concept rather than the traditional "head" 

concept. Under the new procedure, the householder is the 

first adult household member listed on the questionnaire. The 

instructions call for listing first the person (or one of the persons) in whose name the home is owned or rented. 

Another change made in the March 1980 CPS was the exclusion of secondary families (now called unrelated subfamilies) from the count of all families. This modification was 

req1,1ired because of the introduction of the householder concept, since unrelated subfamilies do not have a householder. 

For more discussion on all of the above-mentioned changes, 

see the section·, "Modifications to the March 1980 CPS" in 

Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 130. 

OTHER LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA 

Although every effort is made to reduce the errors of underreporting, nonreporting, or misreporting of income data in the 

Current Population Survey, they still occur because of various 

reasons. Some of these are ( 1 I overlooking income received, 

especially small amounts of income types not regularly received, e.g., contributions from nonhousehold members, (2) 

reluctance to reveal certain types of income, e.g., public 

assistance, (31 rounding estimates, (4) misunderstanding the 

question, (5) lack of information, especially covering famiy 

members not present at the time of interview, (61 interviewers' errors, (7) processing errors, etc. 
Appendix B. Source and Reliability of Estimates 

SOURCE OF DATA 

Most of the estimates in this report are based on data 

obtained from the March 1984 Current Population Survey 

(CPS). However, some estimates are based on data obtained 

from the CPS in earlier years and from the 1960 decennial 

census. 

The monthly CPS deals mainly with labor force data for 

the civilian noninstitutional population. Questions relating 

to labor force participation are asked about each member 

14 years old and older in every sample household. In 

addition, supplementary questions are asked every March 

.about money income for. the .Previous year. In order to 

obtain more reliable data for the Spanish population, the 

March CPS sample was enlarged to include all households 

from the previous November sample which contained at 

least one person of Spanish origin. For this report, persons 

in the Armed Forces living off post or with their families on 

post are included. 

The present CPS sample was initially selected from the 

1970 census files with coverage in all 50 States and the 

District of Columbia. The sample is continually updated to 

reflect new construction. The current CPS sample is located 

in 629 areas comprising 1,148 counties, independent cities, 

and minor civil divisions in the Nation. In this sample, 

approximately 61,500 occupied households were eligible for 

. Description of the March Current Population Survey 

Time period 

interview. Of this number, about 2,500 occupied units were 

visited but interviews were not obtained because the occu· 

pants were not found at home after repeated call_s or were 

unavailable for some other reason. 

The following table provides a description of some aspects 

of the CPS sample designs in use during the referenced data 

collection periods. 

The estimation procedure used in this surve~ involved the 

inflation of the weighted sample results to independent esti· 

mates of the total civilian noninstitutional population of the 

United States by age, race, and sex. These independent 

estimates were based on statistics from decennial censuses 

of population; statistics· on births, deaths, immigration and 

emigration; and statistics on the strength of the Armed 

Forces. Beginning with reports containing income data for 

1980, the independent population estimates used to obtain 

data for 1979 and later are based on the 1980 decennial 

census. In earlier reports in this series (P-60), data.for 1971 

through 1979 were obtained using independent population 

estimates based on the 1970 decennial census. For more 

details on this change, see the section of the text, "Introduction of 1980 Census Population Controls" in an earlier 

report (Series P-60, No. 133). The estimation procedure 

for the data in the report also involved a further adjustment 

so that husband and wife of a household received the same 

weight .

RELIABILITY OF ESTIMATES 

Since the CPS estimates are based on a sample, they may 

differ somewhat from the figures that would have been 

obtained if a complete census had been taken using the same 

questionnaire, instructions, and enumerators. There are two 

types of errors possible in an estimate based on a sample 

survey: sampling and nonsampling. The standard errors pro-

. vided for this report primarily indicate the magnitude of the 

sampling error. They also partially measure the effect of 

some nonsampling errors in response and enumeration, but 

do .not measure any systematic biases in the data. The full 

extent of nonsampling error is unknown. Consequently, 

particular care should be exercised in the interpretation 

of figures based on a relatively small number of cases or 

on small differences between estimates. 

Nonsampling variability. Nonsampling errors can be attributed to many sources, e.g., inability to obtain information 

about all cases in the sample, definitional difficulties, 

differences in the· interpretation of questions, inability or 

unwillingness on the part of the respondents to provide 

correct information, inability to recall information, errors 

made in collection such as in recording or coding the data, 

errors made in processing the data, errors made in estimating 

values for missing data, and failure to represent all units 

within the sample (undercoverage). 

Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housing 

units and missed persons within sample households. Overall 

undercoverage, as compared to the level of the 1980 

decennial census, is about 7 percent. It is known that CPS 

undercoverage varies with age, sex, and race. Generally, 

undercoverage is larger for males than for females and larger 

for Blacks and other races combined than for Whites. Ratio 

estimation to independent age-sex-race population controls 

partially corrects for the bias due to survey undercoverage. 

However, biases exist in the estimates to the extent that 

missed persons in missed households or missed persons in 

interviewed households have different characteristics than 

interviewed persons in the same age-sex-race group. Further, 

the independent population controls used have not been 

adjusted for undercoverage in the decennial census. 

A coverage improvement sample was included in computing the. estimates beginning in 1978 in order to provide 

coverage of mobile homes and new construction housing 

units which had_ no chance for selecti~>n under thEt 461 area 

CPS design. This sample is composed of approximately 450 

sample household units which represent 237,000 occupied 

mobile homes and 600,000 new construction housing units. 

These new construction units are co'mposed of those units 

where building permits were issued prior to January 1970 

and construction was not completed by the time of the 1970 

census (i.e., April 1970). The extent of other sources of 

housing undercoverage is unknown bJJJ be.li~ed tc:>~~ sm~tl: 

The inclusion of this coverage improvement sample in the 

CPS does not have a significant effect on the estimates. 

In most cases, the questionnaire entries for income are 

based on the memory or knowledge of one person, usually 

the wife. The memory factor in data derived from field 

surveys of income probably produces underestimates 

because the tendency is to forget minor or irregular sources 

of income. Other errors of reporting are due to misrepresentation or to misunderstanding as to the scope of the 

income t;.:mcept. See also the section entitled "Other Limitations of the Data" in appendix A. · 

Comparability with other data. In using metropolitan and 

nonmetropolitan data, caution should be used in comparing 

estimates for 1977 and 1978 to each other or to any other 

years. Methodological and sample design changes occurred 

in these years resulting in relatively large difference!! in the 

metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area estimates. However, 

estimates for 1979 and later are comparable as are estimates 

for 1976 and earlier. 

Caution should also be used when comparing estimates 

for 1979 and later, which reflect 1980 census-based population controls, to those for 1971 through 1978, which 

reflect 1970 census-based population con_trols. This change 

in population controls had relatively little impact on summary measures such as means, medians, and percent distributions, but did have a significant impact on levels. For 

example, use of 1980-based population controls resulted in 

about a 2-percent increase in the civilian noninstitutional 

population and in the number of families and households. 

Thus, estimates of levels for 1979 and later will differ from. 

those for earlier years more than what could be attributed to 

actual changes in the population and these differences could 

be disproportionately greater for certain subpopulation 

groups than for the total population. 

A number of changes were made in data collection and 

estimation procedures beginning with the March 1980 CPS. 

The major changes were the use of a more detailed income 

questionnaire, the use of the "householder" concept instead 

of the traditional "head" concept, the introduction of the 

new farm definition, and use of more detailed income 

intervals in the upper range of the income distribution. Due 

to these and other changes caution should be used in comparing estimates for 1979 through 1982 with estimates for 

earlier years. A description of these changes and the effect 

they had on the data is given in the section "Modifications 

to the March 1980 CPS" of an earlier report (Series P-60, 

No. 130). 

Sampling variability. The standard errors given~ in tables 

B-1 through B-4 are primarily measures of sampling variability, that is, of the variation that occurred by chance 

because a sample rather than the entire population was 

surveyed. The sample estimate and its standard error enable· 

one to construct confidence intervals, ranges that would 

include the average result of all possible samples with a 

known probability. For example, if all possible samples 

were s"elected, each of these being surveyed·under·essentially 

the same general conditions and using the same sample 

design, and if an estimate and its standard error were cal· 

culated from each sample, then: 
1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from one 

standard error below the estimate to one standard error 

above the estimate would include the average result of all 

possible samples. 

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.6 

standard errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors 

above the estimate would include the average result of all 

possible samples .. 

3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from two 

standard errors below the estimate to two standard 

errors above the estimate would include the average 

result of all possible samples. 

The average estimate derived from all possible samples is 

or is not contained in any particular computed interval. 

However, for a particular sample, one can say with a specified confidence that the average estimate derived from all 

possible samples is included in the confidence interval. 

Standard errors may also be used to perform hypothesis 

testing, a procedure for distinguishing between population 

parameters using sample estimates. The most common types 

of hypotheses are 1) the population parameters are identical 

or 2) they are different. An example of this would be comparing ~he poverty rate for Whites versus the poverty rate for 

Blacks. Tests may be performed at .various levels of significance, where a level of significance is the probability of 

concluding that the parameters are different when, in fact. 

they are identical. All statements of comparison in the text 

have passed a hypothesis test at the 0.10 level of significance 

187 

or better, and most have passed a hypothesis test at the 

0.05 level of significance or better. This means that, for 

most differences cited in the text, the estimated difference 

between parameters is greater than twice the standard error 

of the difference. For the other differences mentioned, 

the estimated difference between parameters is between 1.6 

and 2.0 times the standard error of the difference. When this 

is the case, the statement of comparison will be qualified in 

some way, e.g., by use of the phrase "some evidence." 

Note when using small estimates. Summary measures (such as 

means, medians, and percent distributions) are shown when 

the base is 75,000 or greater. Because of the large standard 

errors involved there is little chance that summary measures 

would reveal useful information when computed on a smaller 

base. Estimated numbers are shown, however, even though 

the relative standard errors of these numbers are larger than 

those for the corresponding percentages. These smaller 

estimates are provided primarily to permit such combinations 

of the categories as serve each user's needs. 

Standard error tables and their use. In order to derive 

·· standard -errors that would ·be applicable to a large number 

of estimates and could be prepared at a moderate cost, a 

number of approximations were required. Therefore, instead 

of providing an individual standard error for each estimate, 

generalized sets of standard errors are provided for various 

types of characteristics. As a result, the sets of standard 

errors provided give an indication of the order of magnitude 

of the standard error of an estimate rather than the precise 

standard error.

Standard errors for data based on the CPS sample. The figures 

presented in tables B-1 through B-4 are approximations to 

the standard errors of various CPS estimates shown in this 

report for the years 1966 through 1983. Tables B-1 and B-2 

contain the standard errors of estimates of the number of 

total persons and persons 65 years old and over by poverty 

status. These tables also show the standard errors for families 

and unrelated individuals by poverty status for "Total or 

White" and "Black and Other Races,"· respectively. The last 

two. columns of tables B-1 and B-2 pertaining to families 

should also be used for items which can typically appear only 

once in a given family, e.g., "Number of Heads of Families." 

Tables B-3 and B-4 contain standard errors of estimated 

percentages of persons below the poverty level for the United 

States and of families and unrelated individuals regardless 

of poverty status for the United States. 

Table B-5 presents the factors (f1) to be used for other 

characteristics and table B-6 presents the factors (f2! to be 

used for the years 1959 to 1965. -

These factors must be applied to the generalized standard 

errors in tables B-1 through B-4 in order to adjust for the 

combined effect of sample design and the estimating procedure on the value of the characteristic. For example, to 

produce approximate standard errors for families below the 

poverty level in 1959 with seven or more members, use the 

factor 0.9 for family size from table B-5 and the factor 1.4 

for 1959 from table B-6.

Note: These values must be multiplied by the appropriate "f" factors in tables B-5 and B-6 to _ 

obtain the standard errors for a specific characteristic. To estimate standard errors for persons 

at all income levels, divide these standard errors by 2.0. 
Detailed standard errors of estimated numbers of persons 

and families below the poverty level are shown in tables 10, 

16, and 36 of this report. 

To calculate standard errors for persons and families in 

poverty it was necessary to use two parameters (denoted as 

"a" and "b") which are presented in tables B-7 through B-9. 

These parameters were used to calculate the tabulated standard errors in tables B-1 through B-4 and to calculate the 

factors in table B-5. They also may be used to calculate 

standard errors of estimated percentages. Direct computation of the standard errors will give more accurate results 

than the use of the standard error tables. Methods for 

direct computation are given in the following sections. 

Data based on 1960 census 1-in-1,000 sample. Standard 

errors for data based on the 1960 census 1-in-1 ,000 sample 

are estimated by applying the appropriate factors given 

in tables B-5 and B-6 to the standard errors shown in tables 

B-1 through B-4. 

Standard errors of· estimated numbers. The approximate 

standard error ax, of an estimated number shown in this 

report can be obtained in two ways. It may be obtained by 

use of the formula 

(1) 

where f1 is the appropriate factor from table B-5, f2 is the 

appropriate factor from table B-6, and a is the standard error 

for a characteristic obtained by interpolation from tables B-1 

or B-2. Alternatively, the standard errors may be approximated by the following formula, (2), from which the standard errors were calculated in tables B-1 and B-2. Use of this 

formula will provide more a~curate results than the use of 

formula (1) above. 

(2) 

Here x is the size of the estimate and a and b are the parameters in tables B-7 through B-9 associated with the particular type of characteristic. 

189 

Standard errors of estimated percentages. The reliability of 

an estimated percentage, computed using sample data for 

both numerator and denominator, depends on both the 

size of the percentage and the size of tl)e total upon which 

this percentage is based. Estimated percentages are relatively 

more reliable than the corresponding estimates of the numerators of the percentages, particularly if the percentages are 

50 percent or more. When the numerator and denominator 

of the percentage are in different categories, use the factor 

or· parameter indicated by the numerator. The approximate standard error, a(x,p)• of an estimated percentage 

can be obtained by use of the formula 

(3) 

In this formula, f1 is the appropriate factor from table 8·5, 

f2 the appropriate factor from table B-6, and a is the standard .~rror for a characteristic in table 8-3 or B-4. Alternatively, 

the 'standard errors may be approximated by the following 

formula, (4). Use of this formula will provide more accurate 

results than use of formula (3) above. 

a(x,p) = f2 ~ ;. p (100-p) (4) 

Here x is the size of the subclass of persons, or families.and 

unrelated individuals which is the base of the percentage, 

p is the percentage (0 ~ p ~ 100), and b is the parameter in 

tables B-7 through B-9 associated with the particular type of 

characteristic in the numerator of the percentage. 

Illustration of the use of standard error tables. The text 

table of this report shows that in 1983 there were 35,266,000 

persons below the poverty level. Table B-1 shows the standard error of an estimate of this size to be approximately 

492,000. In this situation, no factors have to be applied to 

the standard error, i.e., both f1 and f2 are equal to 1.0. 

Alternatively, using the parameters in table 8-7 in formula

1With table B-1, do not use this factor for families. Use formula (2) and table B-8 instead. 

Note: Apply these factors to parameters of interest at the U.S. level. For characteristics not 

appearing in this table f

1 is assumed to be equal to 1. 

Using the 492,000 estimate, the 95-percent confidence interval is from 34,282,000 to 36,250,000 (using twice the 

standard error). Therefore, a conclusion that the average esti· 

mate derived from all possible samples lies within a range 

computed in this way would be correct for roughly 95 per· 

cent of all possible samples. 

Of the 35,266,000 persons below the poverty level, 

9,885,000, or 28.0 percent, were Black. Table B-3 shows the 

standard error of 28.0 percent on base of 35,266,000 to be 

approximately 0.7 percent. 

Alternatively, this standard error could have been derived 

by using the "b" parameter for Blacks from table B-7 in 

formula (4). 

7 946 

0.7 = 35,266,000 (28.0) (72.0) . 

Consequently, the 95-percent confidence interval as shown 

by these data is from 26.6 to 29.4 percent. 

Standard error of a difference. For a difference between two 

sample estimates, the standard_ error is approximately equal to . 

(5) 

where ax and av are the standard errors of the estimates 

x andy (from tables B-1 through B-4). The estimates can be 

numbers', percents, ratios, etc. The correlation coefficient p 

can be determined from table B-1 0 for year-to-year compari· 

sons for poverty estimates of numbers and proportions; for 

other comparisons assume that p equals zero. Making this 

assumption will result in accurate estimates of standard 

e.rrors for the difference between two estimates of the 

same characteristic in two different areas, or for the difference 

between separate and uncorrelated characteristics in the same 

area. If, however, there is a high positive (negative) corre· 

lation between the two characteristics, the formula will 

overstate (understate) the true standard error. 

Illustration of the computation of the standard error of a 

difference in estimates. The text table shows that the number of families below the poverty level in 1983 was 7,641,000 

and in 1982 was 7,512,000. The apparent difference is 

129,000. The standard error on the estimate of 7,512,000 

low-income families as calculated using formula (2) is 

136,000. The standard error on the 7,641 ,000 low-income 

families computed above is 137,000. From table B-10 we 

obtain the correlation coefficient, p = .35. The standard 

-error associated·with the estimated difference of 129,000 is: 

156,000 =J (136,0001' + (137,0001'. 2(.35) (136,000) (137,000)

This means that the 95-percent confidence interval around 

the 129,000 difference is from -183,000 to 441,000, i.e., 

129,000 ± 2 (156,000). Therefore, a conclusion that the 

average estimate of the difference derived from all possible 

samples lies within a range computed in this way would be 

correct for roughly 95 percent of all possible samples. Since 

this interval includes zero, we cannot conclude with 95-percent confidence that the number of low-income families in 

1983 is higher than the figure for 1982. 

Ratios. There are two cases to consider when computing the 

approximate standard error of a ratio. In the casv where the 

numerator of the ratio is income, formula (6) for the standard 

error of the arithmetic mean should be used. In cases where 

the ratio has persons in the numerator and families in the 

denominator, formula (7) with the appropriate p will give a 

preferable result to that of formula (6). 

Computation of the standard error of an arithmetic mean. 

The standard error of a mean can be approximated by .formula (6). Because of the approximations used in developing 

formula (6), an estimate of the standard error of the mean 

obtained from that formula will generally underestimate 

the true standard error. The formula used to estimate the 

standard error of a mean is 

a-= JE.- S

2 

X y (6) 

In this formula, y is the size of the base and b is a parameter 

which depends on the sample size, the sample design, the 

estimation procedure, and the type of characteristic. Values 

of b are given in tables B-7 to B-9. The variance, S2 , is given 

by the following formula: 

c 

where x is the mean of the distribution, defined i E 1 Pi xi; 

c is the number of groups; i indicates a specific class, tak· 

jng on values 1 through c; pi is the percentage of total 

cases in the ith class; and xi is the midpoint of the ith class 

(or discrete value of .the ith class). 1 When two or more 

distributions are combined, the meim of the combined 

distribution is: 

- 1 ~­ X=- -'<.X· Y· 

y j J J 

where Xj is the mean of the jth distribution, Yj is the base of 

the jth i:1istribution, and y = ~ Yj· This mean must be computed by the user. l 

Standard error of a ratio. Certain mean values, for persons in 

families, listed in the tables of this report were calculated as 

the nitio of two numbers. For example, the mean number of 

children per family with children is calculated as 

~ = total number of children in families 

y total number of families with children 

Standard errors for these means may be approximated as 

shown below. There are two cases to consider. In either case, 

the denominator y represents a count of families of a certain 

class, and the numerator x represents a count of persons with 

the characteristic under consideration who are members of 

these families. 

Case 1: There is at least one person having the characteristic 

in every family of the class; for example, the mean number 

1 For income tables of families below the poverty level use- $5,000 

as the midpoint for "Loss" and $9,900 as the midpoint for "$8,000 

and over." For incomes of unrelated individuals below the poverty 

level use - $9,100 as the midpoint for "Loss" and $5,000 for "$5,000 

and over." For income tables for all families use - $5,000 for "Loss" 

and $68,000 for "$50,000 and over." For the income deficit table 

use $7,400 as the midpoint of the "$5,000 or more" interval and 

$4,900 for the $1,500 or more interval.

the standard error is approximated by the following formula: 

(7) 

The standard error of the estimated number of families, 

ay, and the standard error of the estimated number of 

persons with the characteristic, ax, may be obtained from 

table 8-1 or B-2. Alternatively, formula (2) and tables B-7 

to B-9 may be used. In formula (7), p represents the correlation coefficient between the numerator and the denominator 

of the estimate. In the above example, and for other ratios 

of this kind, use 0.7 as an estimate of p. This procedure can 

also be used to compute the standard error on the estimate 

of mean family size where

mean number of children per family. For ratios of this kind

assumed to be zero. If p is actually positive (negative), then 

this procedure will provide an overestimate (underestimate) 

of the standard error of the ratio. 

Confidence interval and standard error of a median. -r:he 

sampling variability of an estimated median depends upon 

the form of the distribution as well as the size of its base. 

An approximate method for measuring the reliability of an 

estimated median is to determine a confidence interval about 

it. (See the section on sampling variability for a general dis· 

cussion of confic!ence intervals.) The following procedure 

may be used to estimate the 68-percent confidence limits and 

hence the standard error of a median based on sample data. 

1. Determine, using the standard error tables and factors or 

formula (4), the standard error of the estimate of 50 percent from the distribution; 

2. Add to and subtract from 50 percent the standard error 

determined in step (1); 

3. Using the distribution of the characteristic, calculate the 

values from the distribution corresponding to the two 

points established in step (2). These values will be the 

limits for the 68-percent confidence interval. 

4. Divide the difference between the two points determined 

in step (3) by two to obtain the standard error of the 

median. 

A 95-percent confidence interv~l may be determined by 

finding the values corresponding to 50 percent plus and 

minus twice the standard error determined in step (1). 

The formula used to implement step (3) for linear interpolation is: 

where N

estimated upper and lower bounds for the 

confidence interval (O~p< 1). For the purposes of calculating the confidence interval, p 

takes on the two values in step (2). Note that 

the median can be approximated by using 

p = .50 in the formula. 

A1 and A2 = the estimates which are the lower and upper 

bounds, respectively, on the interval in which 

the median falls. 

the estimated number of families or persons 

with incomes (or deficits) greater than or 

equal to A1 and A2, respectively. 

Illustration of the computation of a confidence interval and 

the standard error for a median. Using estimates from table 

35 it can be shown that the median income deficit for poor 

White families with a female householder (no husband present) was $3,697 in 1983. The size, or base, of the distribution from which this median was determined is 1,920,000. 

1. Using formula (4) with b= 1876 and f

2 = 1.0, the 

standard error of 50 percent on a base of 1 ,920,000 is 

ahout 1.6 oercentaQe points. 

2. To obtain a 68-percent confidence interval on the esti· 

mated median, add to and subtract from 50 percent the 

standard error found in step (1 ). This yields percent 

limits of 48.4 and 51.6. 

3. From table 35, the income deficit of 1,148,000 (59.8 

percent) of these families was at least $3,000, and the 

income deficit of 879,000 (45.8 percent) of these families 

was at least $4,000. 

Thus, the entire 68-percent confidence interval falls into 

the income deficit interval $3,000 to $3,999. Using 

formula (8), the lower limit of the estimate is found to be 

about 

1,148,000. (.516) (1,920,000) ($4,000. $3 000) + 

1,148,000 . 879,000 • 

$3,000 = $3,585 

Similarly the upper limit is found to be about 

1,148,00. (.484) (1 ,920,000) ($4,000. $3,000) + 

1,148,000. 879,000 $3,000 = $3,813 

Thus, the 68-percent confidence interval on the estimated 

mean is from $3,585 to $3,813. 

4. The standard error of the median is, therefore, ($3,813 . 

$3,585)/2 = $114.
