Rankings of Poverty Data by Race and Ethnicity for the 100 Most Populated Metro Areas at the Time of the Data Release: 2000 Census, 2006‐10 American Community Survey, and 2009‐13 American Community Survey

Abstract

The long form of the 2000 Census collected income information from which poverty data are calculated. The long form was sent to a sample of households, with about 1 in 6 households across the United States receiving the long form. The 2000 Census had full (100%) nonresponse follow‐up with those households that did not return the long form questionnaire
