R48943	Income and Poverty by State and Congressional District	2026-05-12T04:00:00Z	2026-05-14T15:07:57Z	Active	Reports	Ben Leubsdorf, Joseph Dalaker	Poverty	Members of Congress may assess the economic well-being of households in the geographic areas they represent: states and congressional districts. This report describes two widely used statistical measures: median household income (a single number that represents the middle of the income distribution) and the poverty rate (the percentage of the population that lives in poverty, with income below a dollar threshold that represents needs for a low level of material well-being). It also provides current estimates for states and U.S. House districts based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), a large-scale survey of U.S. households.	https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R48943/R48943.3.pdf	https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/HTML/R48943.html
