Poverty rate: Population for whom poverty status is determined. Estimate units: percent; MOE units: percentage points. Census variables: DP03_0128PE / DP03_0128PM.

Directly published Tennessee reference: 13.8% ± 0.2 pp. This is a Census state observation, not an average of county estimates. Download state references and source URLs.

Estimate order: usable estimates descend, with county name then FIPS breaking ties; unavailable estimates appear last and are never zero. This order is not a statistically established rank. Published MOEs use a 90% confidence level. Uncertainty intervals can overlap, limiting comparisons; adjacent estimates are not established as significantly different. No significance test is calculated. These period estimates do not establish trends or grant eligibility. Definitions, status flags and uncertainty.
