Specific data on 50-state, Metropolitan Statistical Area, and Congressional District

See this blog post explaining how to use the tables below: A Wealth of Data and use our budget and tax toolkit for local groups (Fall 2024) to share data about your community with Congressional offices.

American Community Survey (ACS) data on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage trends by state and race and ethnicity, table by Center on Budget and Policy Priorities- click the link to download the Excel file.

Finally, the tables below give you data on poverty by state, congressional district, and major metropolitan area. A few notes:

  • These tables do not show the number of people in poverty—only the rate (percentage). The Center on Budget tables may be more useful if you need those.
  • However, these tables have three geographic levels (state, congressional district, and metropolitan area), while the Center on Budget tables include just state data.
