Use of ACS Data to Produce SAIPE Model-Based Estimates of Poverty for Counties

This report is released to inform interested parties of research and to encourage discussion. The views expressed on statistical, methodological, or technical issues are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the U.S. Census Bureau. Also, the results reflected here may be slightly different from those used to produce the final 2005 SAIPE data, due to refinements that were made prior to production.
