Methodology for Change Variance Estimates: Testing for a Rise in Child Poverty Rate Greater than Five Percent Between 2001 and 2002
Introduction
The U.S. Census Bureau’s Small Area Estimates Branch annually provides the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with model-based estimates of child poverty (ages 0-17). These estimates are used to determine if any states had greater than a 5 percent increase in child poverty rate between two consecutive years. This document addresses change between 2001 and 2002.
