Explanation Text The income reported here was collected in 1995 about tax year 1994. The components of transfer income are very diverse.

Question Text Annual Needs Standard for the 1994 (Last Year's) Family-USDA VERSION

Explanation Text This is the Orshansky-type poverty threshold based on an annual food needs standard which is derived from the weekly food costs (see V21587 in the 1992 Family Codebook), converted to an annual amount, and adjusted for economies of scale by USDA rules as follows:

Single person . . . . . . . . . . . add 20%

Two persons . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10%

Three persons . . . . . . . . . . . add 5%

Four persons . . . . . . . . . . . .no change

Five persons . . . . . . . . . . . .deduct 5%

Six or more persons . . . . . . . . deduct 10%

An additional adjustment for diseconomies of small households (in rent, etc.) was made as follows:

5.89 times the food needs for single persons

4.70 times the food needs for two-person units

4.00 times the food needs for all other units

Please refer to the Wave VII (1975) Documentation volume, pp. 49-51, and to the User Guide for further details on the need standard. Note that this variable is not adjusted for inflation, nor is it exactly comparable to the official poverty standard; such changes are left to users. This need standard is adjusted for changes in family composition during 1994 and is not adjusted for farmers.

Question Text Annual Needs Standards-CENSUS VERSION

Explanation Text This poverty threshold was taken from Table A on p. vii of the U.S. Census' Current Population Reports, Series P-60, Poverty in the United States: 1994. The threshold values are based on family size, the number of persons in the family under age 18, and the age of the householder. This variable has been adjusted for changes in family composition during 1995 so that it matches part-year incomes included in the total family money income (FAMINC95). Please refer to Section I, Part 5 of the 1993 Family Codebook for further details about the generation process. A reproduction of Table A can be found at the Census website at:
