Small Area Estimation
Main Content
The Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program conducted by the US Census Bureau produces annual estimates of income and poverty counts for states, counties and school districts; currently, the Census Bureau uses different models for state, county, and school district. NORC proposed and developed an alternative methodology so that a single underlying model is used for all geographic levels. The building-block small area model (BBSAM) was implemented using 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data with auxiliary information from the IRS, ACS, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
