The U.S. Census Bureau is scheduled to hold an online news conference to announce the findings of three reports estimating income, poverty and health insurance coverage in the United States.

The reports — Income in the United States: 2022, Poverty in the United States: 2022, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2022 — provide national statistics from the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC).

• National 2022 income statistics. Annual release of estimates on income, earnings and inequality to evaluate national economic trends and gauge their effect on the well-being of households and individuals in 2022.
• National 2022 poverty statistics. Annual release of official poverty and Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) estimates to help understand the economic well-being of households, families and individuals based on national and 3-year average state poverty rates.
• National 2022 health insurance coverage statistics. Annual release of national-level health insurance coverage estimates highlighting national trends in health insurance coverage and examining characteristics by health insurance status to better understand the well-being of individuals in 2022.
  • State-level 2022 health insurance coverage statistics. State uninsured rates and private and public health insurance coverage rates will be included in the American Community Survey (ACS) release scheduled for Sept. 14, 2023.

A question-and-answer session will immediately follow the presentation.
