Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This technical report describes poverty, income, employment, cash assistance receipt, and health insurance coverage among Black women in the United States, with comparisons by nativity, birthplace, educational attainment, duration of U.S. residence, and citizenship. The analysis uses the 2024 American Community Survey one-year Public Use Microdata Sample accessed through IPUMS USA: 128,151 women aged 18 or older who reported Black or African American race alone or in combination, including 16,877 immigrant women in six birthplace-based groups (Anglophone Caribbean, Haiti, Anglophone Africa, Francophone and Lusophone Sub-Saharan Africa, Horn of Africa, and Afro-Latino). Estimates use person weights with successive-difference replication over the 80 ACS replicate weights. Five logistic regression models of poverty, supplementary models of coverage and cash assistance among women below the poverty threshold, and a set of sensitivity specifications are reported in full, with 74 tables and three figures covering descriptive distributions, complete coefficient tables, design-based joint tests, predicted probabilities, pairwise contrasts, and variance comparisons.
