PrefaceThis report provides a broad income picture of a cross section of the population aged 55 or older, with special emphasis on income of the population aged 65 or older. The tabulations focus on the major sources and amounts of income in 2012, both separately and combined, for those age groups. The relative importance of particular sources to total income is measured for individual units, and the share of aggregate income from particular sources is measured for the aged as a whole. Proportions of the aged below the poverty line are presented in terms of the income of the families with whom they live. Several tables describe the economic situ‑ation of the aged with varying levels of Social Security benefits and total money income. These data are a valuable resource for policymakers and researchers in government and in the private sector.

Since 1941, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has periodically surveyed the economic situation of the aged as part of its legislative direc‑tive to study the most effective methods of providing economic security. Between 1963 and 1972, three national surveys were conducted that sampled nonbeneficiaries as well as beneficiaries. In 1963 and 1968, SSA administered its own questionnaire and combined data from those surveys with Social Security record data of the survey respondents. In 1972, SSA benefit record data were combined with U.S. Census Bureau data from the March Current Population Survey (CPS).

SSA then began a series of biennial studies of the income of the aged based on the CPS data alone. The first report in the series described the income of the population aged 55 or older, and in some cases the popula‑tion aged 65 or older, using 1976 data. The second report described appar‑ent changes in the income of those age groups between 1976 and 1978. In the interest of publishing the data in a more timely fashion, however, beginning with the 1980 report, publications in the series have consisted of tabulations only. Starting with the 1990 report, we expanded the series with a companion publication, Income of the Aged Chartbook, which highlights selected data in charts and tables for the population aged 65 or older.

Beginning with the expanded 2004 edition, we began publishing a broader range of statistics to meet user needs. Some of these changes include introducing new statistics on demographics and noncash benefits, as well as adding an Asian category for tabulations by race. In addition, we have substantially increased the number of tables on the family income of aged persons and reformatted or added some tables for consistency across sections. New text sections are included to further assist data users. This new format will continue to be used on a regular basis.

The source of data for this series is the March supplement of the CPS, which samples a large cross section of households in the United States each year and provides detailed information annually on income and labor force participation. Comparisons of CPS estimates with more precise esti‑mates adjusted by federal income tax records and Social Security records indicate that some sources are underreported in the CPS. Also, changes that have been made in the survey from time to time have improved the measurement of income and labor force participation but have reduced the comparability of estimates between years. Despite these shortcomings, CPS data still provide the best available measures of income for detailed subgroups of the aged.

The data in this publication are presented in terms of either aged units or aged persons. An aged unit is defined as either a married couple living together or a nonmarried person. Using aged units or aged persons as the units of analysis allows one to measure incomes of the entire aged population either separately from or in combination with the income of other members of the families with whom they live. Beginning with the 2000 edition, poverty status is presented only for aged persons in terms of their family income, because that measure is now the preferred measure of poverty.

The tables focus on the income of the aged population separately, whether or not they live with other relatives. In contrast, Census Bureau publications that use CPS data classify aged persons living with a younger relative who is considered the householder as families under 65. Thus, a portion of the aged population cannot be accounted for within the Census Bureau’s categorization. But for the 22 percent of persons aged 65 or older who lived with nonspouse family members in 2012, the income of the fami‑lies with whom they lived is important information.

The tabulations focus on the major sources of total income by age, sex, marital status, race, and Hispanic origin. Several tables describe the eco-nomic situation of the aged with varying levels of Social Security benefits. Their poverty status is presented in terms of the income of the families they live with.

Source of DataData for this series are from the March Current Population Survey (CPS) of the U.S. Census Bureau.1 The CPS samples a large cross sec-tion of households in the United States each year (approximately 98,000 in March 2013). The March Supplement gathers detailed informa-tion on income and labor force participation of each person aged 15 or older in the sample households. For this series, the Social Security Administration (SSA) creates a subsample of persons 55 or older arranged in aged units. A separate data record is made for each married couple living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and for each nonmarried person 55 or older. Married persons living apart are classi-fied as nonmarried persons.

From time to time, changes have been made in the survey. Although the changes have improved the measurement of income and labor force participation, they have reduced the

comparability of estimates made in different years.2

A recent paper by Miller and Schieber (2014) called into question the adequacy of retirement income measures in the CPS.3 Specifically, the authors state that the CPS undercounts retire-ment income from various sources including, defined contribution plans and traditional pen-sions. Their analysis compares CPS estimates with more precise estimates obtained from federal tax records. Much of the undercount-ing the paper describes is due to the Census Bureau only including “regular payments” from retirement, survivor, and disability income in its definition of total money income. Most people do not choose to annuitize their pension accounts and instead make withdrawals from their pen-sion accounts on their own. These withdrawals are not part of total money income, and data are not collected on withdrawals from pen-sion accounts in the March Supplement to the Current Population Survey.4 Underreporting of

income in the CPS has been documented in previous issues of this publication and written about in more detail by Anguelov, Iams, and Purcell (2012) and Czajka and Denmead (2012) among others.5 SSA is investigating alterna-tive data sources to address the issue in future editions. Nevertheless, CPS data is currently the best option for timely, detailed information about the income sources and demographics of the population aged 55 or older. Users of this publication are encouraged to consult the text in the Glossary, Frequently Asked Questions, and Technical Appendix sections. These sections provide detail about the CPS and how income is measured in this publication.

GlossaryIncome of the Population 55 or Older is derived from the public-use file of the March Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey. For this reason, most defini‑tions in this Glossary are taken directly from documentation of the Current Population Survey and publications of the U.S. Census Bureau; when appropriate, the source of each definition is noted. The aged unit is not a concept used by the Census Bureau and as a result, no citation is given.

Information and definitions of concepts described here (except the aged unit and demographic characteristics of the aged unit) can be found at http://www.census.gov /cps /about /cpsdef.html. Further discussion of income sources and receipts not counted as income is taken from the Glossary for the March 2013 Current Population Survey, avail‑able at http://www .census.gov/prod/techdoc /cps/cpsmar13.pdf.

Demographic ConceptsAge. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and nonmarried persons 55 or older. Persons who are separated or married but not living with their spouse are included in the nonmarried persons category.

Certain differences exist between Census Bureau and SSA figures because the units of analysis are not directly comparable. Aged persons living with a younger relative who is considered the householder are classified by the Census Bureau as members of nonaged fami‑lies. Also, nonmarried individuals are treated simply as nonmarried persons by SSA. In com‑parison, the Census Bureau counts nonmarried persons living with other relatives as part of a family and nonmarried persons who are living alone or with nonrelatives as unrelated indi‑viduals. The Census Bureau’s family category includes both married couples and those non‑married persons who are living with relatives.

Census data show that the number of house‑holds with the householder aged 65 or older was 26,843,000 in 2012.1 In comparison, SSA tabulations show that there were 42,287,000 persons and 32,667,000 units aged 65 or older in 2012. The SSA count generally includes the Census Bureau’s aged households plus some aged units living in nonaged households or living with other aged units in the same household. The number of aged households was 82 percent of the number of aged units.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of

one family.2 In this publication, individuals living with no other family members are referred to as “1‑person families.”Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never mar‑ried, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married couple’s race is defined as the race of the husband. Beginning with the 2002 edition, respondents were allowed to report more than one race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respon‑dents who reported only one race. Because of these changes, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002, and one should use caution when interpreting changes in the racial composition of the elderly over time. In 2002, less than 1 percent of persons aged 55 or older reported more than one race.

Income DefinitionsMoney income data are collected for all people 15 or older in the sample. Money income includes earnings, unemployment compensa‑tion, workers’ compensation, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, public assis‑tance, veterans’ payments, survivor benefits,

4 ♦ Income of the Population 55 or Older, 2012

How Income Is Measured“For each person 15 years and older in the sample, the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) asks questions on the amount of money income received in the preceding calendar year. . . .It should be noted that although the income statistics refer to receipts during the preceding calendar year, the demographic characteristics, such as age, labor force status, and household composition, are as of the survey date. The income of the household does not include amounts received by people who were members during all or part of the previous year if these people no longer resided in the household at the time of interview. The Current Population Survey (CPS) collects income data for people who are current residents but did not reside in the household during the previous year.Data on income collected in the ASEC by the U.S. Census Bureau cover money income received (exclu‑sive of certain money receipts such as capital gains) before payments for personal income taxes, social security, union dues, Medicare deductions, etc. Therefore, money income does not reflect the fact that some families receive noncash benefits, such as SNAP benefits, health benefits, subsidized housing, and goods produced and consumed on the farm. In addition, money income does not reflect the fact that noncash benefits are also received by some nonfarm residents, which often take the form of the use of business transportation and facilities, full or partial payments by business for retirement programs, medical and educational expenses, etc. Data users should consider these elements when comparing income levels. Moreover, readers should be aware that for many different reasons there is a tendency in household surveys for respondents to underreport their income. Based on an analysis of independently derived income estimates, the Census Bureau determined that respondents report income earned from wages or salaries much better than other sources of income, and that the reported wage and salary income is nearly equal to independent estimates of aggregate income.” (Source: DeNavas‑Walt, Carmen, Bernadette D. Proctor, and Jessica C. Smith, U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Reports, P60‑245, Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2012, page 31. http://www.census.gov/prod/2013pubs/p60‑245.pdf).

pension or retirement income, interest, divi‑dends, rents, royalties, income from estates and trusts, educational assistance, alimony, child support, cash assistance from outside the household, and other miscellaneous sources. It is income before deductions for taxes or other expenses and does not include lump‑sum pay‑ments or capital gains.3

Total Money Income. The term is defined as the arithmetic sum of money wages and salaries, net income from self‑employment, and income other than earnings. The total income of a household is the arithmetic sum of the amounts received by all income recipients in the household.4

Earnings is the sum of income from wages and salaries and income from self-employment.Wages and salaries. Money wages or salary is defined as total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the income year. It includes wages, salary, Armed Forces pay, commissions, tips, piece‑rate pay‑ments, and cash bonuses earned, before deduc‑tions are made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, and so forth. Earnings for self‑employed persons in incorporated businesses are considered wage and salary.5

Self-employment. Income from self‑employ‑ment is the combined income from farm and nonfarm self‑employment.

Farm self‑employment is net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on their own

account, as an owner, as a renter, or as a share‑cropper. Nonfarm self‑employment is net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership.6

Retirement benefits is the sum of Social Security benefits and public and private pensions.Social Security. Social Security includes retired-worker benefits, dependents’ or survivor benefits, and disability benefits made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. Government.

“Medicare” reimbursements are not included.7 For further information on types of Social Secu‑rity benefits, see Social Security’s Annual Statis-tical Supplement 2012, pages 15–17.Pensions. Many employers and unions have established pension program for their employees so that upon retirement employees will receive regular income to replace their earnings. Many of these programs also provide income to employ‑ees if they becomes severely disabled, or to their survivors upon death.8 Nonregular (nonannuitized

or lump-sum) withdrawals from IRA, Keogh, and 401(k) plans are not included as income.Employer pensions. Employer pensions include pensions from Railroad Retirement, government employee pensions, and private pensions and annuities.Government employee pensions. Government employee pensions include regular payments from federal government (civil service), military, and state or local governments.Private pensions and annuities. Private pensions and annuities include regular payments from companies or unions, annuities or paid-up insur-ance policies, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), Keogh, or 401(k) payments.

Asset income includes interest, dividends, income from estates or trusts, and net rental income or royalties.Interest income. Interest includes payments people receive (or have credited to their accounts) from bonds, treasury notes, IRAs, certificates of deposit, interest-bearing savings and checking accounts, and all other invest-ments that pay interest.9

Dividends. Dividends include income people receive from stock holdings and mutual fund shares. The CPS does not include capital gains from the sale of stock holdings as income.10

Rents, royalties, and estates and trusts. Include net income people receive from the rental of a house, store, or other property, receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalty income, and periodic payments from estate or trust funds.11

Receipts Not Counted As IncomeReceipts from the following sources are not included as income: (1) capital gains people received (or losses they incur) from the sale of property, including stocks, bonds, a house, or a car (unless the person was engaged in the business of selling such property, in which case the CPS counts the net proceeds as income from self-employment); (2) withdrawals of bank deposits; (3) money borrowed; (4) tax refunds; (5) gifts; and (6) lump-sum inheritances or insur-ance payments.17

Noncash benefits include Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (SNAP benefits, formerly food stamps), energy assis-tance, and housing assistance. Receipt of noncash benefits is only reported in the section on the sources of income received. No dollar values are assigned to the noncash benefits in this publication, and they are not included in total money income. A person or aged unit is indicated as having received a noncash benefit

if any person in the household received food, energy, or housing assistance.Food. In this publication, food noncash benefits are comprised solely of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (SNAP benefits, formerly food stamps). School breakfast, lunch, and other food assistance programs are not cov‑ered. The Food Stamp Act of 1977 was enacted for the purpose of increasing the food purchas‑ing power of eligible households through the use of coupons to purchase food. The Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agri‑culture (USDA) administers SNAP through state and local welfare offices. SNAP is the major national income support program which provides benefits to all low-income and low-resource households regardless of household characteris‑tics (for example, sex, age, disability, etc.).18

Energy Assistance Program. The Low‑Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides financial assistance to qualified households to help them pay heating costs. The program is funded by the federal government and adminis‑tered by the States under broad guidelines.19

Housing Assistance. There are some pro‑grams through which housing assistance is provided to low‑income families and individu‑als living in public or privately owned dwellings. Two of the more common types of programs in which federal, State, and local funds are used to subsidize private sector housing are rent supple‑ment and interest reduction plans. Under a rent supplement plan the difference between the “fair market” rent and the rent charged to the tenant is paid to the owner by a government agency. Under an interest reduction program the amount of interest paid on the mortgage by the owner is reduced so that subsequent savings can be

passed along to low‑income tenants in the form of lower rent charges. A recipient unit can either be a family of two or more related persons or an individual who is handicapped, elderly, or displaced by urban renewal or natural disaster.

Housing assistance questions differ from other questions covering noncash benefits in that they establish current recipiency status in March 2013 rather than recipiency status during 2012.20

Other Key ConceptsPoverty. Following the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) Directive 14, the Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to detect who is poor. If a family’s total income is less than that family’s threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is considered poor. The poverty thresholds do not vary geographi‑cally, but they are updated annually for inflation with the Consumer Price Index (CPI‑U). The official poverty definition counts money income before taxes and excludes capital gains and noncash benefits (such as public housing, Med‑icaid, and SNAP benefits).

Poverty statistics are based on a definition developed by Mollie Orshansky of the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 1964 and revised in 1969 and 1981 by interagency com‑mittees. This definition was established as the official definition of poverty for statistical use in all Executive departments in 1969 (in Bureau of the Budget Circular No. A-46) and was reconfirmed in the Office of Management and Budget Statistical Policy Directive No. 14. For further details, see the section, “Changes in the Definition of Poverty,” in Current Population Reports, Series P‑60, No. 133.

20 Ibid.

The poverty thresholds are increased each year by the same percentage as the annual average Consumer Price Index (CPI). The pov‑erty thresholds are currently adjusted using the annual average CPI‑U (1982–84 = 100).

For further information on how the poverty thresholds were developed and subsequent changes in them, see Gordon M. Fisher, “The Development and History of the Poverty Thresholds,” Social Security Bulletin, vol. 55, no. 4, Winter 1992, pp. 3–14.21

Discussions of alternative measures of pov‑erty are available in Citro and Michael (1995).22 The U.S. Census Bureau also publishes data on alternative measures of poverty; for more information, see http://www.census.gov/prod/2005pubs/p60‑227.pdf.Relative Importance of Income Source. The relative importance of a source is the ratio of the amount of income from a given source to total income.Aggregate Income Share. An aggregate income share is the ratio of the amount of income from a given source to total income for an entire subpopulation. Aggregate income share tables are distributions of dollars by source.

Technical Information for Constructing Income Measures from the CPS Survey DataThe information provided here is intended to help users familiar with working with survey data to reproduce statistics in this publication or construct additional comparable measures. For questions regarding the survey variables them‑selves, please consult the technical documenta‑tion for the March 2013 CPS (http://www.census .gov/prod/techdoc/cps/cpsmar13.pdf).

Assigning persons to aged unitsAn aged unit can be either a nonmarried person or a married couple. The person record is used for nonmarried persons (A-MARITL equals 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7). To create a married couple, a person with A-MARITL equals 1 or 2 is assigned to his or her spouse by matching A-LINENO of one person to the A-SPOUSE of another person in the same household (PH-SEQ is the same for both persons).

Variables used to calculate incomeThese are the income variables for an individual. To obtain total income for an aged unit, sum amounts over the married couple or over the nonmarried person. To obtain family totals, sum over all family members (those with the same FH-SEQ and FFPOS).

Frequently Asked QuestionsThere are statistics for aged units and the family income of persons. What is the difference? Which statistics should I use?The wider variety of tables incorporated in this edition gives more options to users need‑ing information on the income of the aged. The questions asked about the income of the elderly often fall into one of two categories: what income do the elderly provide for themselves and those they live with, and what income is available as a resource for the elderly.

Statistics for aged units treat each marital unit (married couple or nonmarried individual) as one unit. A nonmarried individual has only their income and demographic attributes. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife. All other demographic charac‑teristics, including the statistical weight, are that of the husband. Income for the married couple is the sum of both spouses’ income; if either spouse has income from a specific source the married couple is considered to be a recipient unit. Tables on aged unit income are designed to be flexible enough to answer both types of questions, but with a couple of qualifications. First, unlike tables in which each person counts as a unit, aged unit tables treat each married couple as 1 unit and each nonmarried person as 1 unit. Interpreting aged unit tables like a person table will emphasize the economic well‑being of nonmarried persons relative to married persons. Second, the aged unit tables exclude the income of other family members, which may not provide a complete picture of the resources available to the unit.

Statistics for the family income of persons are also based on the demographic attributes (age, sex, race, Hispanic origin) of each person. Total income from all family members (related through blood, marriage, or adoption) is treated as another attribute of the person. If any person in the family has income from a specific source the aged person is considered to be in a recipi‑ent family. These tables are designed to answer questions on the resources available to an aged person.

The table below illustrating the differences across units for total money income is taken from Tables 3.A1 and 3.B1. Median income is higher for aged units than it is for persons because aged unit income includes spousal income. Family income of persons 65 or older is higher still because it includes income from all family members, not just a spouse. The number (thousands) is the same for persons and family income of persons because only the attribute of interest (person versus family income) has changed; both are concerned with the same population—persons 65 or older. The number of aged units is lower because a married couple is counted as 1 unit, not 2 persons.

I have seen other statistics on the income of the elderly that are different from these. What would cause these differences?Statistics may differ across publications because different data are used. Income of the Population 55 or Older uses the March Supple‑ment to the Current Population Survey, which is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Some publications producing statistics on the income of the elderly may use other surveys like the Survey of Income and Program Participation or the Health and Retirement Survey. Still other publications, such as Social Security’s Annual Statistical Supplement, use administrative data.

Different publications also may not employ the same procedures for similar statistics. The units (persons, aged units, families, households, and so forth) may differ. One methodology may exclude income or units that another does not.

The statistics below on the average amount of money the elderly received from Social Security illustrate these points. The first column shows the number of beneficiary aged units 65 or older and median Social Security income from Table 5.A1. The second column shows the number of beneficiaries and average ben‑efit from Table 5.A16 of the Annual Statistical Supplement, 2013. The number of beneficiaries differs because two different sources of data and two different units were used. The Annual Statistical Supplement statistics are based on administrative records from Social Security’s Master Beneficiary Record drawn for Decem‑ber 2012. The administrative records include institutionalized beneficiaries (for example, in nursing homes and hospitals) and do not rely on accurate self-reporting by the beneficiary to a survey. The benefit amounts differ not only


because the data are different, but also because the Income of the Population statistic is the median of the annual amount received and the Annual Statistical Supplement statistic is the mean of the monthly benefit in December 2012.

Average monthly benefit (dollars) . . . 1,240.08

Average monthly benefit (annualized) . . . 14,880.96

Why are there only 4 quintile limits?The quintile limits indicate the boundaries between the quintiles. The bottom quintile has income below the lowest quintile limit with no lower boundary. Likewise, the top quintile has income of at least the highest quintile limit with no upper boundary. The middle quintiles are bounded on the top and bottom by the quintile limits.

Why isn’t Social Security differentiated by type of benefit?Social Security is not broken out by type of benefit because a person may receive more than one type of Social Security benefit (such as retired-worker benefit and spouse benefit). Aged units and families may have even more combinations of benefits (such as one spouse receiving retired-worker benefits and the other

receiving disability benefits). For this reason, it also should not be assumed that beneficiary units 65 or older or persons 65 or older in bene‑ficiary families are receiving retirement benefits, even though disability benefits are converted to retired-worker benefits at full retirement age.

Why don’t you differentiate between income from defined benefit (DB) pensions and income from defined contribution (DC) plans like IRAs and 401(k) accounts?We do not publish statistics differentiating between DB and DC pensions because a sig‑nificant portion of payments from DC plans are not collected in the Current Population Survey. The Census Bureau only includes “regular pay‑ments” from retirement, survivor, and disability income in its definition of total money income. Many people do not choose to annuitize their pension accounts and instead make withdrawals from their pension accounts on their own. These withdrawals are not part of total money income, and data are not collected on withdrawals from pension accounts in the March Supplement to the Current Population Survey.1

Do the statistics on receipt of asset income and the receipt of pension income in Section 2 indicate whether an elderly person has assets or a pension account?No. The March Supplement of the Current Population Survey does not ask about asset and pension holdings, and not all asset and pension

1 A paper by Marc Roemer assessing the quality of income data in the March Current Population Survey and Survey of Income and Program Participation provides further insight into what pensions are and are not counted as money income. See “Assessing the Quality of the March Current Population Survey and the Survey of Income and Program Participa‑tion Income Estimates, 1990–1996,” unpublished, but available at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www /income/publications/assess1.pdf.

income is included in the Census Bureau’s definition of total money income. Two notable exclusions are withdrawals from defined con‑tribution pension accounts and capital gains or losses. Only “regular payments” from retirement, survivor, and disability income are included as pension income. Many people do not choose to annuitize their pension accounts and instead receive lump sums or make withdrawals from their pension accounts on their own. These withdrawals are not included as part of pension or total money income. Using receipt of income from assets or pensions will underestimate asset or pension holdings.

What is the difference between the relative importance of an income source in Sections 8 and 9 and a source’s share of aggregate income in Section 10?The most important difference between the two concepts is that the relative importance of an income source is based on aged units/family income of persons, while a share of aggregate income is an average over dollars. This means that the relative importance of Social Security for an aged unit is calculated by dividing each aged unit’s Social Security income by its total income. Based on the ratio of Social Security income to total income, aged units are then placed in the appropriate row of the table (0 percent of income from Social Security, 1 percent to 19 percent of income from Social Security, and so forth). Only aged units with positive total income and nonnegative earnings and asset income are included. The mean at the bottom of each panel is an average of the ratio of Social Security income to total income. The measures of relative importance of income sources in Sections 8 and 9 are designed to examine the resources avail‑able to an elderly person or aged unit.

On the other hand, aggregate income shares are designed to answer the question of what income sources the elderly as a whole are




providing to their living units. Income provided by the nonelderly is excluded (except in the case of aged units because spouses may be non-elderly). The Social Security share of aggre-gate income for persons 65 or older is the total number of dollars of Social Security received by persons 65 or older divided by the total number of dollars received by the elderly from all sources of income. Only the total number of dollars matters for aggregate income shares; neither the number of persons or aged units nor the distribution of money is taken into account.

Do statistics on the relative importance of income sources accurately reflect the resources available to the elderly?Not in all instances. First, the survey on which these data are based does not include some potentially important resources as income, including lump-sum pension payments and capi-tal gains. In addition, these statistics do not take into consideration noncash benefits that supple-ment money income (housing and energy subsi-dies or SNAP benefits) or the amount of savings available to supplement monthly income. This could overstate the relative importance of earnings or Social Security and understate the relative importance of pensions and assets as resources.

Second, comparisons of the survey data used in this publication, the Current Popula-tion Survey (CPS), with other surveys indicate that certain sources of income are increasingly underreported, particularly asset income and pension income. One survey designed to cap-ture small and/or infrequent amounts of income is the Survey of Income and Program Participa-tion (SIPP). Researchers at the Census Bureau and SSA have used these surveys to estimate how misreported income leads to over- or under-estimation of total income, poverty, and the rela-tive importance of income sources. Estimates of the proportions of the elderly receiving all of

their income from a single source (“100 percent reliance”) are particularly affected by under-reports of receipt of income from other sources because the receipt of just $1 from a second income source changes whether an aged unit receives all of their income from a single source. The table below from Fisher (2007) illustrates the differences in receipt of income by source between the CPS and the SIPP. These differ-ences in receipt, particularly of asset income and pension income, can cause the estimated relative importance of Social Security to vary greatly. In 1996, 17.9 percent of elderly aged

units in the CPS reported receiving all of their income from Social Security; however, only 8.4 percent of elderly aged units in the SIPP reported receiving all of their income from Social Security.

For further information on the reporting of income in surveys and its effect on statistics, please consult articles by Fisher (2007), Koenig (2003), or Roemer (2000).2

I can’t find the information I need. What are some other sources of data?A good source of data on Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income is in Social Security Administration’s Annual Statistical Supplement. It and other data pub-lications from Social Security are located on Social Security Administration Office of Retire-ment and Disability Policy’s website, http://www .socialsecurity.gov/policy/data_title.html.

The Census Bureau also has a series of publications based on the Current Popula-tion Survey, the most recent of which is called Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Cover-age in the United States: 2012. Several years of these reports can be accessed through the Census Bureau’s Income website, http://www .census .gov/hhes/www/income/income.html.

Section 1Demographic Characteristics


Key Terms and Concepts for Section 1 1

Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.

Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of Hispanic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.

Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.

Table characteristicsAge. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.

Poverty. The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to detect who is poor. If a family’s total income is less than that family’s threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is considered poor.Per capita income. Per capita income is total family income divided by the number of persons in the family.The ratio of Social Security income to total income. This ratio is defined as Social Security income divided by total income. Units and persons in families with less than $1 of total income or negative earnings or asset income are excluded from these tables.

Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.

Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.Poverty. The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to detect who is poor. If a family’s total income is less than that family’s threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is considered poor.The ratio of Social Security income to total income. This ratio is defined as Social Security income divided by total income. Units and persons in families with less than $1 of total income or negative earnings or asset income are excluded from these tables.Per beneficiary Social Security income is total Social Security income divided by the num‑ber of beneficiaries in the family.

Total Money Income. The term is defined as the arithmetic sum of money wages and sala‑ries, net income from self‑employment, and income other than earnings. The total income of a household is the arithmetic sum of the amounts received by all income recipients in the household.Social Security. Includes retired-worker ben‑efits, dependents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, and transitionally insured benefits.

A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.

Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.The ratio of Social Security income to total income.

Income from Pensions


Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to

the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.

Employer pensions. Employer pensions include pensions from Railroad Retirement, government employee pensions, and private pensions and annuities.Government employee pensions. Govern‑ment employee pensions include regular pay‑ments from federal government (civil service), military, and state or local governments.Private pensions and annuities. Private pensions and annuities include regular pay‑ments from companies or unions, annuities or paid‑up insurance policies, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), Keogh, or 401(k) payments. Nonregular (nonannuitized or lump‑sum) with‑drawals from IRA, Keogh, and 401(k) plans are not included as income.

Section 7Income from Assets


Income from Assets


Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to

the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.

Asset income. Includes interest, dividends, income from estates or trusts, and net rental income or royalties. Interest income. Interest includes payments people receive (or have credited to their accounts) from bonds, treasury notes, IRAs, certificates of deposit, interest-bearing savings and checking accounts, and all other investments that pay interest.

Section 8Importance of Income Sources

Relative to Total Income


Importance of Income Sources Relative to Total Income


Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried persons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related subfamily mem‑bers) are considered as members of one family.Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.Per capita income. Per capita income is total family income divided by the number of persons in the family.

Relative Importance of Income Source. The relative importance of a source is the ratio of the amount of income from a given source to total income for an aged unit or family. These tables are distributions of persons or aged units by the importance of a given source at the individual unit level.Poverty. The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to detect who is poor. If a family’s total income is less than that family’s threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is considered poor. The poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated annually for inflation with the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty definition counts money income before taxes and excludes capital gains and noncash benefits (such as pub‑lic housing, Medicaid, and SNAP benefits).

Income sourcesRetirement benefits. Include Social Security benefits, Railroad Retirement income, govern‑ment employee pensions, and private pensions or annuities.Social Security. Includes retired-worker ben‑efits, dependents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, and transitionally insured benefits.Government employee pensions. Govern‑ment employee pensions include regular pay‑ments from federal government (civil service), military, and state or local governments.Private pensions and annuities. Private pensions and annuities include regular pay‑ments from companies or unions, annuities or paid‑up insurance policies, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), Keogh, or 401(k) payments.

Nonregular (nonannuitized or lump‑sum) with‑drawals from IRA, Keogh, and 401(k) plans are not included as income.Earnings. Include wages and salaries and self-employment. Wages and salaries is defined as total money earnings received for work per‑formed as an employee during the income year. It includes wages, salary, Armed Forces pay, commissions, tips, piece‑rate payments, and cash bonuses earned, before deductions are made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, and so forth. Earnings for self-employed persons in incorporated businesses are considered wage and salary. Self-employment is the combined income from farm and nonfarm self‑employment.Asset income. Includes income from interest, dividends, rent, royalties, and estates and trusts. Interest includes payments people receive (or have credited to their accounts) from bonds, treasury notes, IRAs, certificates of deposit, interest‑bearing savings and checking accounts, and all other investments that pay interest. Dividends include income from stock holdings and mutual fund shares. The CPS does not include capital gains from the sale of stock hold‑ings as income. Rents, royalties, and estates and trusts includes net income from the rental of a house, store, or other property, receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalty income, and periodic payments from estate or trust funds.Public Assistance. Includes Supplemental Security Income and other monetary public assistance programs. Noncash benefits are not included.

NOTES: Units with zero total income or with negative total income, earnings, or income from assets are excluded.

The relative importance of a source of income may not accurately reflect the resources available to elderly persons or elderly aged units. The survey on which these data are based does not include some potentially important resources as income, including lump-sum pension payments and capital gains. In addition, these statistics do not take into consideration noncash benefits that supplement money income (housing and energy subsidies or SNAP benefits) or the amount of savings available to supplement monthly income. Consult the Frequently Asked Questions for further information.

Section 9Importance of Social Security

Relative to Total Income (Beneficiary Aged Units

and Aged Persons in Beneficiary Families Only)


Importance of Social Security Relative to Total Income (Beneficiary Aged Units and Aged Persons in Beneficiary Families Only)


Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.

Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.Per capita income. Per capita income is total family income divided by the number of persons in the family.Relative Importance of Income Source. The relative importance of a source is the ratio of the amount of income from a given source to total income for an aged unit or family. These tables are distributions of persons or aged units by the importance of a given source at the individual unit level.

Poverty. The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to detect who is poor. If a family’s total income is less than that family’s threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is considered poor. The poverty thresh‑olds do not vary geographically, but they are updated annually for inflation with the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty defini‑tion counts money income before taxes and excludes capital gains and noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid, and SNAP benefits).

Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to the race category, data on race are not directly comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.

Poverty. The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to detect who is poor. If a family’s total income is less than that family’s threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is considered poor. The poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated annually for inflation with the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty definition counts money income before taxes and excludes capital gains and noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid, and SNAP benefits).

Income sourcesRetirement benefits. Include Social Security benefits, Railroad Retirement income, govern‑ment employee pensions, and private pensions or annuities.Social Security. Includes retired-worker ben‑efits, dependents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, and transitionally insured benefits.Government employee pensions.

Nonregular (nonannuitized or lump-sum) withdrawals from IRA, Keogh, and 401(k) plans are not included as income.Earnings. Include wages and salaries and self‑employment. Wages and salaries is defined as total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the income year. It includes wages, salary, Armed Forces

pay, commissions, tips, piece‑rate payments, and cash bonuses earned, before deductions are made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, and so forth. Earnings for self-employed persons in incorporated businesses are con‑sidered wage and salary. Self-employment is the combined income from farm and nonfarm self‑employment.Asset income. Includes income from interest, dividends, rent, royalties, and estates and trusts. Interest includes payments people received (or have credited to their accounts) from bonds, treasury notes, IRAs, certificates of deposit, interest‑bearing savings and checking accounts, and all other investments that pay interest. Dividends include income from stock holdings and mutual fund shares. The CPS does not include capital gains from the sale of stock hold‑ings as income. Rents, royalties, and estates and trusts includes net income from the rental of a house, store, or other property, receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalty income, and periodic payments from estate or trust funds.Public Assistance. Includes Supplemental Security Income and other monetary public assistance programs. Noncash benefits are not included.Other income is total income minus retire‑ment benefits, earnings, income from assets, and public assistance. Some income sources represented in this category include worker’s compensation, unemployment benefits, alimony, child support, and financial assistance from friends and relatives.

Section 11Poverty Status of Aged Persons

Based on Family Income




Age. Age classification is based on the age of the person at his or her last birthday as of March 2013. A married couple’s age is defined as the age of the husband—unless he is under age 55 and the wife is 55 or older, in which case it is the age of the wife.Aged unit. With age 55 as the cutoff, aged units are defined as married couples living together—at least one of whom is 55 or older—and non‑married persons 55 or older.Marital status. Married persons are married and living with their spouse. Nonmarried per‑sons may be divorced, widowed, never married, separated, or married but living apart from their spouse.Race. The categories White alone, Black alone, and Asian alone reflect respondents who reported only one race. Because of changes to the race category, data on race are not directly

comparable to editions prior to 2002. A person’s race is his or her reported race. A married cou‑ple’s race is defined as the race of the husband.Hispanic origin. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. A married couple is of His‑panic origin if the husband is of Hispanic origin.Family. A family is a group of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related sub‑family members) are considered as members of one family.Social Security beneficiary. A beneficiary may be receiving retired-worker benefits, depen‑dents’ or survivor benefits, disability benefits, or transitionally insured benefits.Per capita income. Per capita income is total family income divided by the number of persons in the family.

Poverty. The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to detect who is poor. If a family’s total income is less than that family’s threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is considered poor. The poverty thresh‑olds do not vary geographically, but they are updated annually for inflation with the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty defini‑tion counts money income before taxes and excludes capital gains and noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid, and SNAP benefits).The ratio of Social Security income to total income. This ratio is defined as Social Security income divided by total income. Units and persons in families with less than $1 of total income or negative earnings or asset income are excluded from these tables.

Technical Appendix

Technical AppendixThis appendix addresses the most frequently encountered mathematical operations when using this book. The first segment involves manipulation of the data. The second segment addresses the reliability of the estimates. For more information on manipulating the data, please consult a mathematics or statistics textbook. For more information on calculating the reliability of the estimates, please consult the technical documentation for the March 2013 Survey at http://www.census.gov/prod/techdoc /cps/cpsmar13.pdf.

Manipulating the data

Converting a percentage of a population to a count of unitsFirst, divide the percentage by 100. Then multi‑ply that decimal by the total population.

Example: How many aged units 65 or older have income from Veterans’ benefits?

In Table 2.A1, 4.2 percent of aged units 65 or older had income from Veterans’ benefits, and there was a total of 32,667,000 aged units 65 or older. Dividing the percentage by 100 yields: 4.2/100=0.042. Then multiply: 0.042*32,667,000=1,372,014.

Combining two percentage distributionsFirst, convert each percentage to a count of units. Then add the two counts of inter‑est. Finally, divide by the sum of the two total populations.

Example: What percentage of aged units 65–74 had total money income of $15,000–$19,999?

In Table 3.A1, 7.9 percent of aged units 65–69 and 10.0 percent of aged units 70–74 had total money income of $15,000–$19,999. There were a total of 10,178,000 aged units 65–69 and 7,372,000 aged units 70–74.

First, find the number of aged units with total money income of $15,000–$19,999:

0.079*10,178,000 = 804,062 aged units 65–69 had total money income of $15,000–$19,999

0.100*7,372,000 = 737,200 aged units 70–74 had total money income of $15,000–$19,999

804,062 + 737,200 = 1,541,262 aged units 65–74 had total money income of $15,000–$19,999

Second, find the total population:10,178,000 (aged units 65–69) + 7,372,000

(aged units 70–74) = 17,550,000 aged units 65–74

Finally, divide the population of interest by the total population:

1,541,000/17,550,000 = 0.088 or 8.8 percent of aged units 65–74 had total money income of $15,000–$19,999.

Note: This procedure cannot be used on medians or some means presented in this publication.

Estimating a particular percentile limitThis is also known as getting a cumulative distri‑bution from a frequency distribution. Add percent‑ages in the frequency distribution (column) until you exceed the percentile limit you want. Then interpolate within that last interval to estimate your desired percentile (see example below).

Example: What was the Social Security income cutoff for the bottom decile (10 percent) of beneficiary aged units 65 or older?

In Table 5.A1, get the total percent (cumula‑tive distribution) by adding up the percents in the aged units 65 or older column until you exceed 10 percent. Because 8,000–8,999 is the first row to exceed 10 percent total, the 10‑percent limit is between $8,000 and $8,999.

Next look at the total percent immediately lower than 10 percent (here it’s 9.2). So, 10 − 9.2 = 0.8 means that you need 0.8 per‑centage points more of the population. There are 3.1 percentage points in the 8,000–8,999 category. Take the proportion 0.8/3.1 (what you need/what you have) and multiply it by 1,000 (the total number of dollars for the row category). (0.8/3.1)*1,000 = $258. Add 258 to 8,000 (the bottom dollar for the row). The bottom decile limit is 8,258.

Technical Appendix

Reliability of the EstimatesBecause the figures in this report are based on a sample of the older population, all reported statistics (counts, percentages, and medians) are only estimates of population parameters and may deviate somewhat from their true values—that is, from the values that would have been obtained from a complete census using the same questionnaires, instructions, and interviewers.

The standard error is primarily a measure of sampling variability—that is, it measures the variations that occur by chance because a sam‑ple rather than the entire population is surveyed. As calculated for this report, the standard error also partly measures the effect of response and enumeration errors but does not measure systematic biases in the data. The chances are about 68 out of 100 that an estimate for the sample would differ from a complete census fig‑ure by less than the standard error. The chances are about 95 out of 100 that the difference would be less than twice the standard error.

Standard Error of Estimated PercentagesThe reliability of an estimated percentage, com‑puted by using sample data for both numerator and denominator, depends on both the size of the percentage and the size of the total on which the percentage is based. The approximate stan‑dard error Sx of an estimated percentage can be obtained using the formula

s bx

p px p, ( )= −100

Here x is the total number of persons, families, or households (the base of the percentage), p is the percentage, and b is the parameter from the following table associated with the characteristic in the numerator of the percentage.

Use of this formula in calculating the standard error of a single percentage is illustrated as follows:

An estimated 47.4 percent of units aged 65 or older had total money income of $30,000 or more in 2012 (Table 3.A1). Because the base of this percentage is approximately 32,667,000—the number of units aged 65 or older—the standard error of the estimated 47.4 percent is approximately 0.3 percent. The chances are 68 out of 100 that the estimate would have shown a figure that differed from one resulting from a complete census by less than 0.3 percent. The chances are 95 out of 100 that the estimate would have shown a figure differing from one after a complete census by less than 0.6 percent—that is, this 95 percent confidence interval would range from 46.8 percent to 48.0 percent.

For a difference between two sample esti‑mates, the standard error is approximately equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the standard errors of each estimate considered separately. This formula will represent the actual standard error quite accurately for the difference between separate and uncorrelated characteris‑tics. If, however, there is a high positive correla‑tion between the two characteristics, the formula will overestimate the true standard error.

A comparison of the difference in the percent‑age of units aged 62 to 64 and 65 or older who had total money income of $30,000 or more in 2012 illustrates how to calculate the standard error of a difference between two percentages:

47.4 percent of the 32,667,000 units aged 65 or older and 63.3 percent of the 6,971,000 units aged 62 to 64 had total money income of $30,000 or more in 2012 (Table 3.A1)—a difference of 15.9 percentage points. The standard errors of those percentages are 0.3 and 0.6, respectively. The standard error of the estimated difference of 15.9 per‑centage points is about

The chances are 68 out of 100 that the difference is between 15.2 and 16.7 per‑centage points and 95 out of 100 that it is between 14.5 and 17.3 percentage points. Because the confidence interval around the difference does not include zero, there is a statistically significant difference between the proportions of units who are aged 62 to 64 and those who are aged 65 or older with income of $30,000 or more.

Confidence Limits of MediansThe sampling variability of an estimated median depends on the distribution as well as on the size of the base. Confidence limits of a median based on sample data may be estimated as follows: (1) using the appropriate base, the standard error of a 50 percent characteristic is determined; (2) the standard error deter‑mined in step 1 is added to and subtracted from 50 percent; and (3) the confidence interval around the median corresponding to the two points estimated in step 2 is then read from the distribution of the characteristic. A two‑standard-error confidence limit may be deter‑mined by finding the values corresponding to 50 percent plus and minus twice the standard error. This procedure may be illustrated as follows:

The median total money income of the estimated 32,667,000 units aged 65 or older was $28,056 in 2012 (Table 3.A1). The standard error of 50 percent of those units expressed as a percentage is about 0.31 percent. As interest usu‑ally centers on the confidence interval for the median at the two‑standard‑error level, it is necessary to add and subtract twice the standard error obtained in step 1 from 50 percent. This procedure yields limits of approximately 49.4 percent and 50.6 percent. By interpolation, 49.4 percent of units aged 65 or older had total money income below $27,848, and 50.6 percent had total money income below $28,608. Thus, the chances are about 95 out of 100 that the census would have shown the median to be greater than $27,848 but less than $28,608.
