Description

SPMMORT records a family's tenure and mortgage status. Specifically, it identifies whether an SPM family (SPMFAMUNIT) rents their home, owns their home with a mortgage, or owns their home without a mortgage. This information is used to construct poverty thresholds for the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM).

For more detail about how the Census Bureau calculates SPM for the ACS, please see the Supplemental Poverty Measure using the American Community Survey working paper.
