This report presents data on households and persons receiving benefits other than cash. The report also includes statistics on selected characteristics for all households by total money income level and poverty status; recipients of food stamps, school lunch programs, public housing, Medicaid, Medicare; household median money income level as well as poverty status; and civilian workers with pension and group health plans subsidized by employers.

For each group, data are provided by age, race, region, and household relationships, and, for most groups, by size of household" work experience, tenure, and metropolitan residence. Information is also provided on number and combination of benefits received.

A Note on Language

Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
