| Abstract | This report examines patterns of poverty using seven different measures: average monthly poverty, episodic poverty, chronic poverty, annual poverty, poverty spells, poverty entry rates, and poverty exit rates. Data come from the 1996 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and reflect the dynamics of poverty from 1996-1999. Unlike the Current Population Survey, which povides poverty estimates in a given year, the SIPP uses monthly data to measure poverty; this allows researchers to calculate short-term poverty rates and poverty rates over longer periods of time. Nearly 41 million people were poor in a given month in 1996, representing an average monthly poverty rate of 15.5 percent. By 1999, the rate was 34.8 million. About 34 percent of people were poor for at least 2 months, but only 2.0 percent were poor every month. More people exited than entered poverty from 1996-1999. Of those who were poor in 1996, 65.1 percent remained poor in 1997, 55.5 percent in 1998, and 50.5 percent in 1999. Non-Hispanic whites had lower poverty rates, shorter median poverty spells, lower poverty entry rates, and higher poverty exit rates than blacks and Hispanics. Patterns for Blacks and Hispanics were similar. Children tended to have higher poverty rates than adults. People in married couple families tended to have lower poverty rates than people in other family types. People in suburbs had lower poverty rates than people in central cities or nonmetropolitan areas. (Contains 11 figures.) (SM) |
