Description

HIUHHSPOV is constructed by the State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) at the University of Minnesota. HIUHHSPOV is the ratio of HIU income to HHS poverty guidelines. It is constructed by dividing the household count by the household poverty guidelines and multiplying by 100. These ratios can span from 0% to well beyond 400% and can be used to construct income categories based on HIU.

For more information see the "2020 Update of SHADAC’s Health Insurance Unit and Defining Families Issue Brief".

HIUHHSPOV is a 9-digit numeric variable that represents the ratio of HIU income to HHS poverty guidelines and has four implied decimals. For example, a HIUHHSPOV value of 107704993 should be interpreted as 10770.4993. The IPUMS command files automatically make the necessary adjustment, so no further adjustment is needed.
