U.S. Census Bureau to Report 2024 Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Data

The U.S. Census Bureau will release key statistical reports on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage in the United States for the year 2024. These reports derive from the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC), providing valuable insights into national economic and health insurance trends. An online news conference is scheduled for September 9, 2025, where the findings will be presented, followed by a question-and-answer session with media representatives.

The reports include Income in the United States: 2024, Poverty in the United States: 2024, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2024, which collectively offer comprehensive data relevant for policymakers, insurers, and market analysts. Data tables and detailed disclosures will be made publicly available via the Census Bureau's press kit immediately following the webcast.

The Census Bureau's use of CPS ASEC data supports accurate measurement of socio-economic factors critical for insurance market assessments, including coverage rates and income distribution patterns. These metrics aid in understanding shifts in market demand, access to health insurance, and poverty-related economic conditions which impact regulatory and compliance landscapes.

This annual release provides a foundation for evaluating changes in insurance coverage associated with economic fluctuations, informing underwriting and product development strategies. The online format of the news conference facilitates broader access for media and industry stakeholders to engage with the data and Census experts.

Insurance professionals can anticipate utilizing these findings to refine risk models, predict enrollment trends, and align business strategies with evolving demographic and economic realities in the U.S. market. The Census Bureau maintains open channels for interviews and further inquiries, reinforcing transparency and stakeholder engagement in the dissemination of these critical statistics.
