Dynamics of Poverty Report Now Available On September 29, the U.S. Census Bureau released a new report on poverty statistics from the 2018-2020 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). This report provides monthly, annual, episodic and chronic poverty rates over the 2017-2019 period to provide additional insight for measuring poverty in the United States. Monthly poverty rates can provide insight into changes in poverty within a year or over multiple years, while annual poverty rates provide insight into changes in poverty over multiple years. Episodic measures utilize the longitudinal nature of the SIPP to examine the share of individuals experiencing monthly poverty for at least two consecutive months over the 36-month reference period, while chronic poverty measures examine the share of individuals who were in poverty for each of the 36 months. Late last week, the Census Bureau released the 2020 Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) in the Census API, on data.census.gov, and on the BDS website. The BDS is an annual time-series, covering the years 1978 to 2020. The data provide measures of business dynamics, such as job creation and destruction, establishment births and deaths, and firm startups and shutdowns for the economy overall and aggregated by establishment and firm characteristics. 2021 American Housing Survey Data Now Available The U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently released new housing data from the 2021 American Housing Survey (AHS) through the AHS Table Creator. This interactive data tool allows users to create custom tables of housing and demographic estimates for the nation, 25 metropolitan areas, and selected states. The biennial AHS (conducted every two years) is the nation's most comprehensive housing survey, providing current data on a wide range of housing subjects. Topics unique to the AHS include characteristics and physical condition of the nation's housing units, indicators of housing and neighborhood quality, and home improvement activities.
