Problems in estimating change in state poverty rates in the United States are discussed. In particular, the author tests the reliability of data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) and uses 1980 U.S. census data as a basis for comparison. "The results of the test for statistical significance call into question sole reliance on the CPS in estimating state poverty rates, for which its sample design was not intended."
