The U.S. Census Bureau will present findings from three key reports on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage in the United States at an online news conference scheduled for September 9 at 10 a.m. EDT.
The reports—Income in the United States: 2024, Poverty in the United States: 2024, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2024—draw on data from the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC). These publications provide national-level statistics to help assess economic trends and their impact on households, families, and individuals.
According to the Census Bureau, these reports include annual estimates of income, earnings, inequality, official poverty rates as well as Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) rates. The health insurance report will detail coverage trends and examine status by select characteristics.
A question-and-answer session is planned immediately following the presentation. David Waddington, chief of the Social, Economic and Housing Statistics Division; Sharon Stern, assistant division chief for Employment Characteristics; Liana Fox, assistant division chief for Economic Characteristics; and Julie Iriondo, chief of Media Relations Branch at the Public Information Office will participate in the event.
“The Census Bureau plans to post the reports, data tables and news release to the Income, Poverty and Health Insurance press kit online shortly after the news conference begins.”
The event will be held virtually via Webex by Cisco. Members of media outlets can ask questions by phone during a dedicated session. Details about accessing the webinar are available at https://uscensusevents.webex.com/uscensusevents/j.php?MTID=m7e0f0fe492f905f5dbb5b500a6a5fcf7.
