SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
provisions of section 2603(11) of Title

Reconciliation Act of 1981 (Pub. L. 97–

estimated median income of a fourperson family for each State, the District
of Columbia, and the United States for
FFY 2007 (the period of October 1,
2006, through September 30, 2007).
Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the
LIHEAP statute provides that 60 percent

annually established by the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human

LIHEAP.
LIHEAP is authorized through the end
of FFY 2007 by the Energy Policy Act
of 2005, Pub. L. 109–58, which was
enacted on August 8, 2005.
Estimates of the median income for a
four-person family for each State and
the District of Columbia for FFY 2007
have been developed by the Census
Bureau of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, using the most recently
available income data. In developing the
median income estimates for FFY 2007,
the Census Bureau used the following
three sources of data: (1) The Current
Population Survey’s 2005 Annual Social
and Economic Supplement File; (2) the
2000 Decennial Census of Population;
and (3) 2004 per capita personal income
estimates, by State, from the Bureau of

Note—FFY 2007 covers the period of October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007. The estimated median income for a four-person family
living in the United States is $66,111 for FFY 2007. The estimates are effective for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
at any time between the date of this publication and October 1, 2006, or by the beginning of a LIHEAP grantee’s fiscal year, whichever is later.
1 In accordance with 45 CFR 96.85, each State’s estimated median income for a four-person family is multiplied by the following percentages
to adjust for family size: 52% for one person, 68% for two persons, 84% for three persons, 100% for four persons, 116% for five persons, and
132% for six persons. For each additional family member above six persons, add 3% to the percentage for a six-person family (132%), and multiply the new percentage by the State’s estimated median income for a four-person family.

Population; and (3) 2004 per capita personal income estimates, by
State, from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S.

Note--FFY 2007 covers the period of October 1, 2006 through September
30, 2007. The estimated median income for a four-person family living
in the United States is $66,111 for FFY 2007. The estimates are
effective for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
at any time between the date of this publication and October 1, 2006,
or by the beginning of a LIHEAP grantee's fiscal year, whichever is
later.
\1\ In accordance with 45 CFR 96.85, each State's estimated median
income for a four-person family is multiplied by the following
percentages to adjust for family size: 52% for one person, 68% for two
persons, 84% for three persons, 100% for four persons, 116% for five
persons, and 132% for six persons. For each additional family member
above six persons, add 3% to the percentage for a six-person family
(132%), and multiply the new percentage by the State's estimated
median income for a four-person family.
