Notes:               The U.S. Census Bureau provides annual estimates of income and poverty
                     statistics for all school districts, counties, and states through the
                     Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates
                     (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/saipe/about.html) (SAIPE)
                     program. The bureau's main objective with this program is to provide
                     estimates of income and poverty for the administration of federal
                     programs and the allocation of federal funds to local jurisdictions.
                     In addition to these federal programs, state and local programs use
                     the income and poverty estimates for distributing funds and managing
                     programs.
                     
                     Poverty universe is one of the data sources used in producing SAIPE
                     program estimates, it is made up of persons for whom the Census Bureau
                     can determine poverty status (either "in poverty" or "not in
                     poverty"). The definition of poverty universe for SAIPE estimates is
                     the same for 2006 and beyond and conceptually matches the poverty
                     universe of the American Community Survey (ACS). The poverty universe
                     estimates are not the same as the population estimates from the Census
                     Bureau's Population Estimates Program. Instead, they are derived
                     estimates that differ from population estimates in the following ways:
                      1. The poverty universe does not include children under the age of 15
                     who are not related to a reference person within the household by way
                     of birth, marriage or adoption (for example, foster children). The
                     reason is that Census Bureau surveys typically ask income questions
                     only of persons age 15 or older and those under 15 related to a
                     reference person within the household.
                      2. Beginning with 2006, the poverty universe includes group quarters
                     populations only for noninstitutionalized group quarters, not
                     elsewhere classified. Residents of college dormitories, military
                     housing, and all institutional group quarters populations are
                     excluded. The 2005 poverty universe estimates excluded all group
                     quarters' residents, matching the definition of the 2005 ACS. Prior to
                     the estimates for 2005, the poverty universe data were derived from
                     the Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population
                     Survey. This marks a break in the data series due to a methodology
                     change.
