本报告介绍了美国的收入、贫困和医疗保险覆盖率数据，这些数据是根据美国人口普查局2008年及此前进行的当前人口调查（CPS）的年度社会和经济补编（ASEC）收集的信息编制的。本报告提供的数据表明：·2006年至2007年，家庭收入中位数的真实的增加-这是第三次年度增加。·2006年至2007年期间，没有医疗保险的人数和比例都有所下降。这些结果在各组之间并不一致。例如，2006年至2007年期间，非西班牙裔白人和黑人的真实的家庭收入中位数有所上升，但亚洲人和西班牙裔的家庭收入中位数在统计上保持不变; 18岁以下儿童的贫困率有所上升，但18至64岁人口和65岁及以上人口的贫困率在统计上保持不变;没有健康保险的人的比例在本土出生的人口中有所下降，而外国出生的人口在统计上保持不变。3本报告的三个主要部分-收入、贫困和健康保险覆盖面-更详细地讨论了这些结果。每个部分都按种族、西班牙裔、出生地和地区等特征进行了估计。其他主题包括全年全职工人的收入;贫困家庭;以及儿童的健康保险。本报告最后一节讨论了使用2年和3年平均值按州划分的医疗保险覆盖范围。
This report presents data on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage in the United States based on information collected in the 2008 and earlier Annual Social and Economic Supplements (ASEC) to the Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Data presented in this report indicate the following: • Real median household income increased between 2006 and 2007—the third annual increase.1 • The poverty rate was not statistically different between 2006 and 2007. • Both the number and the percentage of people without health insurance coverage decreased between 2006 and 2007. These results were not uniform across groups. For example, between 2006 and 2007, real median household income rose for non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks but remained statistically unchanged for Asians and Hispanics; the poverty rate increased for children under 18 years old but remained statistically unchanged for people 18 to 64 years old and people 65 and over; and the percentage of people without health insurance decreased for the native-born population, while the foreign-born population remained statistically unchanged.2, 3 These results are discussed in more detail in the three main sections of this report income, poverty, and health insurance coverage. Each section presents estimates by characteristics such as race, Hispanic origin, nativity, and region. Other topics include earnings of year-round, full-time workers; families in poverty; and health insurance coverage of children. This report concludes with a section discussing health insurance coverage by state using 2- and 3-year averages.
