We measure annual changes in poverty levels, across states and among demographic groups by age, gender, income, and race. Multidimensional poverty is estimated using data on individuals and their households from the American Community Survey, the largest household survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis webinar will be moderated by IIEP Co-Director James Foster, Oliver T.
