It operates multiple data programs covering disease surveillance through the CDC, healthcare quality and outcomes through CMS, substance abuse and mental health data through SAMHSA, and demographic health information through other divisions. HHS data ranges from real-time disease outbreak tracking to detailed hospital performance metrics, nursing home inspections, Medicare claims data, and public health surveys.

Federal Poverty Guidelines

When you apply for food stamps, Medicaid, or help paying for health insurance, a caseworker checks your income against these official poverty lines. If you're under the threshold for your family size, you qualify. This dataset shows those thresholds going back 60 years, so you can see how they've risen (or not) over time and compare how much stricter or looser eligibility has become. It's the number that decides whether millions of people get help or not.
