This Sunday marked the anniversary of September 11, 2001, also known as Patriot Day. This day is incredibly profound for our nation and for me, as I expect it is for you, too. Twenty-one years later, the tragic events of this day are indelible memories. We will never forget the suffering, the lives lost, the vulnerability we felt when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Airlines Flight 93. Nor will we forget the closeness we suddenly felt to one another as a unified nation, as fellow Americans. We realized we were all neighbors, we were compatriots. We stuck together, looked out for one another, and helped each other process the magnitude of what had occurred. Â

There has been continued debate about the best way to measure income and poverty in the United States since the first official U.S. poverty statistics were published in the mid-1960s. At the U.S. Census Bureau, we measure poverty two ways every year. The first, called the official poverty measure, is based on cash resources. The second measure, the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), includes both cash and noncash benefits and subtracts necessary expenses (such as taxes and medical expenses). The official poverty measure has remained mostly unchanged since it was introduced in the mid-1960s. In contrast, the SPM was designed to improve as new data, methods and research become available. This blog discusses the development of the SPM and differences between the two measures.
Upcoming Workshops: Making the Most of Mapping in data.census.gov
Join us in this participatory class as we look at mapping capabilities in data.census.gov. You’ll learn the basics of mapping, including how to map data found in tables available in the site. Next, you’ll learn how to use the mapping capabilities to discern between geographies and determine if they have changed over time. Then you’ll take a quick look at another great mapping tool offered by the Census Bureau—TIGERweb.
Time is allotted throughout the training for questions. General familiarity with navigating data.census.gov is recommended. Using two monitors is recommended for this class, if available.
Registration is required to attend these workshops. Attendance is limited to 50 participants per session.
