Poverty is defined here by comparing a household's annual income to a set of federal poverty thresholds, as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2019, for example, a two adult, two child household below the 100% poverty threshold had an annual income below $25,926, below the 185% poverty threshold if less than $47,963 in annual income, and below the 200% poverty threshold if less than $51,853 in annual income for a two adult, two child household.

Data on children without health insurance are available for both sexes combined from 2008-present only.

When comparing county estimates to other counties, confidence intervals should be used with caution because the model-based estimates result in correlated percentages.

Note: These health insurance estimates come from the US Census Bureau's Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE).
