Poverty in America 2005
The Census Bureau has issued its annual report on poverty in the United States. I’ll be posting my analysis and findings tomorrow. For now, here’s the press release.
Real median household income in the United States rose by 1.1 percent between 2004 and 2005, reaching $46,326, according to a report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. Meanwhile, the nation’s official poverty rate remained statistically unchanged at 12.6 percent. The percentage of people without health insurance coverage rose from 15.6 percent to 15.9 percent (46.6 million people).
