 Source and Accuracy of Estimates for Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2004
This comprehensive report from the U.S. Census Bureau investigates estimates for income,
poverty, and health insurance coverage in the United States as of 2004. The report contains charts, graphs and statistical data
to explain their results.
The estimates in the report "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2004"
come from the 2005 Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC). The U.S. Census Bureau conducts
the ASEC over a 3-month period (February, March, and April) with most data collection occurring in the
month of March. The ASEC uses two sets of questions: the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a
set of supplemental questions. The CPS, sponsored jointly by the Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, is the country's primary source of labor force statistics for the entire population. The
Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics also jointly sponsor the ASEC.
