In late September 2001, the Census Bureau released the 2001 March Demographic Supplement of Current Population Survey (CPS) data to the public. The September 2001 CPS estimates included an error that affected the total number of children within each state. SHADAC has calculated the percent change between the 2000 estimates and the 1997-1999 three-year averages for the total number of children living within a state, the total number of children living below 200% of poverty living within a state, and the total number of children living below 200% of poverty who do not have health insurance. The percent change estimates are in the table in this document. December 2001.
