The Census Bureau released new data from the 2006 Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) to the Current Population Survey (CPS) and economic tabulations from the 2005 American Community Survey (ACS) yesterday. Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2005 (PDF) summarizes findings from the CPS-ASEC, and a fact sheet notes differences between the CPS and ACS income and poverty estimates.
