aThe U.S. Census Bureau uses the concept of poverty universe to describe all respondents for
whom information about income is available.
NOTE: Fractions may not add to 100 percent because of rounding, because some people may report
coverage from more than one source during the course of a year, and because respondents may fall
into more than one reporting category, for example, in the case of race and ethnicity.
