Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) Program datasets are single-year estimates of income and poverty for all U.S. states and counties as well as estimates of school-age children in poverty for all 13,000+ school districts. The current data is through FY 2024.
The aggregated data on taxes, SNAP benefits, and poverty are used in producing the U.S. Census Bureau’s Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates program dataset. Journalists can use this data to explore how cuts to programs like SNAP, Medicaid, or anti-poverty programs will impact residents in particular geographic locations (the site also has an interactive map feature to help visualize these datasets according to user-selected criteria.)
