Notes: HIPM refers to Health Inclusive Poverty Measure, SPM refers to the Supplemental Poverty Measure. AIAN refers to American Indian and Alaska Native. All race categories are single race and do not distinguish Hispanic ethnicity from non-Hispanic ethnicity, except for white, which is exclusive of Hispanic ethnicity (i.e., non-Hispanic white alone, Black alone, AIAN alone, and AAPI alone). Hispanic can be of any race.
