Poverty Status of Families and People in Families

2020-2024 ACS 5-Year with 2015-2019 ACS 5-Year

Use caution. As ACS data are collected every month of the year, reference months in a calendar year overlap with the reference months in the preceding calendar year. Hence, comparing the 2024 ACS 5-year with the 2019 ACS 5-year estimates is not an exact comparison of the economic conditions in 2020-2024 with those in 2015-2019. For a discussion of this and related issues, see Hogan, Howard, "Measuring Population Change Using the American Community Survey," Applied Demography in the 21st Century, Steven H. Murdock and David A. Swanson eds., Springer Netherlands, 2008. For specific questions and answers about sources of poverty data, see Questions and Answers about Sources of Poverty Data.

Household Income, Household Income by Source, Family Income, Nonfamily Household Income, Income for Individuals

2020-2024 ACS 5-Year with 2015-2019 ACS 5-Year 

        Use caution. To accurately assess changes in income over time, an                            adjustment for inflation is required.

-Estimates in the 2015-2019 ACS 5-year data set are inflation-adjusted to 2019 dollars.

-Estimates in the 2020-2024 ACS 5-year data set are inflation-adjusted to 2024 dollars.

The Census Bureau uses the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Consumer Price Index Retroactive Series (R-CPI-U-RS, R-CPI-U-RS formerly the CPI-U-RS) to adjust for inflation. The annual average R-CPI-U-RS for 2024 (462.5) is divided by the same for 2019 (375.8) to determine the multiplier to inflation-adjust 2019 dollars to 2024 dollars. Accordingly, dollar value estimates from the 2015-2019 file should be multiplied by 1.23070782 to convert 2019 dollars to 2024 dollars. The exception is the Comparative Economic Characteristics Profile (CP03) where all income and earnings dollar values are presented in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars. For more information on comparing multiyear estimates from two different time periods, refer to Chapter 10  of the ACS Handbook Understanding and Using American Community Survey Data: What All Data Users Need to Know.

The 2020-2024 ACS 5-year industry data are based on the 2022 revision of the NAICS codes. Because of the NAICS revisions and Census industry code changes, we recommend using caution when comparing 2020-2024 industry data with 2015-2019 industry data.

This adjustment used the Retroactive Consumer Price Index Research Series (R-CPI-U-RS), formerly known as the CPI-U-RS, which is used to adjust all other dollar-denominated estimates in the ACS. This change brings the home value data in line with how all other dollar-denominated housing and income items are adjusted to real (i.e., constant) dollars.
