Notes: 

Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding effects.

For all topics based on the CPS on statehealthfacts.org, the grouping used for analysis is the health insurance unit (HIU), which groups individuals according to their insurance eligibility, rather than by relatedness or household.
For more details, see "Notes to Topics Based on the Current Population Survey (CPS)" at http://www.statehealthfacts.kff.org/methodology.

Definitions:  NSD: Not Sufficient Data

Persons in poverty are defined here as those living in "health insurance units" with incomes less than 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) as measured by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) poverty guidelines. Health insurance units are related individuals who would be eligible as a group for "family" coverage in a health plan. The federal poverty guideline for a family of four in the 48 contiguous states and D.C. was $21,200 in 2008 and $22,050 in 2009. The U.S. Census Bureau produces simplified - but very similar - versions of federal poverty guidelines called "poverty thresholds." For more information on measures of poverty, please see the detailed description provided by HHS available at http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/faq.shtml.
