HHInc income, median income, household income, poverty, poverty level HHInc.UT_US Median annual household income is the income level at which half of all households' income is lower, and half of all households' income is higher. Not applicable. Not applicable. 01/11/2024 Income is strongly related to health status. Low-income persons tend to have poorer health status, in part because they cannot always afford good healthcare. However, some people have low-income levels because chronic mental or physical illness limits their ability to complete educational goals and earn a good income. The median household income in Utah has increased overall since 1984, even after adjusting for inflation. However, there have been short timeframes when the median income decreased or remained fairly level. The median household income in Utah has generally kept pace with that in the U.S., but households in Utah are larger, making [[a href="indicator/view/PerCapInc.UT_US.html" per capita income]] in Utah lower than in the U.S. overall. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services has no programs directed specifically at increasing household income levels. However, there are programs such as Medicaid, Primary Care Network, and CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) that pay for health care for eligible children and adults.

A confidence interval is a range about a given estimate that has a specified probability of containing the average result of all possible samples. For example, if all possible samples were surveyed under essentially the same general conditions and using the same sample design, and if an estimate and its standard error were calculated from each sample, then approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.645 standard errors below the estimate to 1.645 standard errors above the estimate would include the average result of all possible samples. ******** See Excel spreadsheet: S:\CHD\OPHA\KMCNAMAR\IBIS\Indicators\Indicator Updates, Oct. 2011\HH Income\MedIncome Data from SAIPE 3 x 02/26/2024 Status changed by: kimneerings@utah.gov 02/26/2024 PopChar ChldPov ChldPov.UT_US EduLevPop EduLevPop.Ut_US FPHlth FPHlth.Ut_USYear HHStruct HHStruct.Cnty HlthStatMent HlthStatMent.Ut_US HlthStatPhys HlthStatPhys.UT_US LimAct Pov Pov.UT_US SystemFactors Health insurance coverage is related to income--persons with higher household incomes are more likely to be covered by health insurance. This is true despite the fact that public programs such as CHIP, Medicaid, and Utah's Primary Care Network (PCN) are available to low-income persons. Until recently, however, only children, pregnant women, single parents, and disabled adults could gain Medicaid eligibility by virtue of their low income status. Now, low-income adults who are not disabled may also be eligible for certain types of health care coverage through the Utah Department of Health and Human Services.

The association between poverty and health status is probably bi-directional. That is, persons with chronic mental or physical illness are less able to achieve their educational goals and get good jobs. At the same time, persons who have lower incomes are less able to afford healthcare and may have less healthy lifestyles. For instance, persons with lower education and income levels are more likely to smoke cigarettes and less likely to get regular exercise. 5aDayFruit 5aDayFruit.UT_US ArthPrev ArthPrev.UT_US AsthAdltPrev AsthAdltPrev.UT_US BloCholScr BloCholScr.Ut_USYear BreCAMam BreCAMam.UT_US CanDth CanDth.UT_US CervCAScr CervCAScr.UT_US CigSmokAdlt CigSmokAdlt.Ut_US ColCAScr ColCAScr.UT_US CosBarHtlhCar CosBarHtlhCar.UT_US DiabPrev DiabPrev.LHD DomVioDurPre DomVioDurPre.Age FPHlth FPHlth.Ut_USYear HlthIns HlthIns.UT_US_ACS HlthStatMent HlthStatMent.Ut_US HlthStatPhys HlthStatPhys.UT_US HypAwa HypAwa.UT_US LifeExpect LifeExpect.UT_USSexYear LungCADth LungCADth.Ut_US Obe Obe.UT_US PhysAct PhysAct.UT_US PhysActMusStr PhysActMusStr.UT_US Pov Pov.UT_US ProsCAScr ProsCAScr.UT_US RouDenBRFS RouDenBRFS.Ut_Reg_US UntDenDecChi6_8 UntDenDecChi6_8.Year HHInc.UT_US Utah and U.S., 1984-2022 Dollars HHInc.Cnty by County, Utah, 2022 Dollars HHInc.LHD by Local Health District, Utah, 2022 Dollars HHInc.SA by Utah Small Area, ACS 2018-2022 Dollars
