Note: All estimates are adjusted by age (5-year groups; maximum age group is >80) to the US 2000 standard population. SE = standard error. FPL = federal poverty level; <100% FPL = poor; 100%–199% FPL = near-poor; <200% FPL = poor and near-poor combined; and ≥200% FPL = not-poor.
*P < 0.05 based on t-test for differences between two periods or two groups within each characteristic.
a Change in percentage points from 1999–2004 to 2011–2016. Positive value = increase; negative value = decrease.
b Reference group for comparisons within each characteristic, 2011–2016.
