Special Tabulation of Supplemental Poverty Measure Estimates – This special tabulation of estimates using the Supplemental Poverty Measure were prepared at the request of the New York Times. It consists of five tables:

1. Estimates of the number of people with incomes/resources between 100 and 150 percent of their poverty thresholds by different poverty measures and by selected characteristics. These estimates can be used to calculate “rates” for either measure and/or the share of the population with each of these characteristics.
2. Effect of excluding individual elements on the percent of people with SPM Resources between 100 and 150 percent of their SPM poverty thresholds.
3. Cross tabulation of SPM vs Official Income to Poverty Ratios.
4. Poverty estimates by work status: 2010. This provides three SPM estimates not provided in the November 7 Research SPM report. Official estimates can be found in Table 4 of the September 2011 Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2010.
