This report contains estimates for families, unrelated individuals, and persons by money income and poverty status for the United States, the Northeast region of the U.S., and the divisions and states within the region. The estimates were obtained from the Survey of Income and Education (SIE), which was conducted between April and July 1976 by the Bureau of the Census. This report updates 1970 census money income and poverty estimates for these areas. The report consists of three basic tables comprising six pages of data for all states and divisions within the region. The first table contains income distributions for families and unrelated individuals cross classified by a broad range of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. The second table contains a selection of similar data for persons by sex. In the third table, data for the poverty population are shown for a broad range of characteristics. The characteristics include residence, tenure, type of family, size of family, number of related children under 18 years of age, number of earners, age, race, occupation, work experience, education, duration of unemployment, main reason for not working, type of income, subsidized housing of renters, and living arrangements for unrelated individuals.
