“Thursday, the U.S. Census Bureau will release its report on income, poverty, and health insurance as part of the 2017 community survey. Today, we are going to hazard a few informed guesses as to what it contains (an embargoed copy exists, which we haven’t consulted). We’re doing so to make a point: that the numbers reported by the U.S. Census are important, but only a small part of the picture.”
