This release includes:

• National 2024 poverty statistics. Annual official poverty and Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) estimates to help gauge the economic well-being of households, families and individuals based on official poverty and SPM rates.
• National 2024 health insurance coverage statistics. Annual national-level health insurance coverage estimates highlighting coverage trends and examining health insurance status by select characteristics to better understand the well-being of individuals. 

This release includes:

• 2024 ACS 1-year estimates. Statistics on numerous social, economic, housing and demographic characteristics (including language spoken at home, educational attainment, commuting, employment, mortgage status and rent, income, poverty, and health insurance coverage) for geographic areas with populations of 65,000 or more. The embargoed information may not be published, broadcast, posted online, distributed via wire and distribution services, or shared until the public release date and time on Thursday, Sept. 11, at 12:01 a.m. ET.
• 2024 ACS data profiles, detailed tables, comparison profiles, selected population profiles, subject tables, and summary files.

The CPS serves as the nation’s primary source of statistics on labor force characteristics. The ASEC provides the nation’s official poverty levels as well as statistics on income, health insurance coverage, marital status, educational attainment, employee benefits, work experience, school enrollment, noncash benefits, and migration. The Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics have conducted the CPS for more than 50 years. Policymakers use these indicators to assess households’ well-being, track the economy, and evaluate government programs.

The ACS provides a wide range of important statistics about people and housing in every community across the nation that everyone from city planners to retailers and homebuilders use to make informed decisions. This survey is the only source of local estimates for most of the 40-plus topics it covers, including income, poverty, health insurance coverage, education, occupation, language spoken at home, and housing costs.
