The data are based on health insurance coverage at the time of the survey; interviews are conducted throughout the calendar year. Children receiving health insurance through a variety of State Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) are counted as having health insurance.
The federal poverty definition consists of a series of thresholds based on family size and composition. In calendar year 2023, a family of two adults and two children fell in the poverty category if their annual income fell below $30,900. Poverty status is not determined for people in military barracks, institutional quarters, or for unrelated individuals under age 15 (such as foster children). Poverty data are based on income received in the 12 months prior to the survey.
