National WIC Eligibility, 2016

Sources: 2006-2017 Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement for US estimates; 2005-2016 Puerto Rico Community Survey and census for territories; WIC administrative data, and WIC participant and program characteristics report.
Notes: The estimated coverage rates exceed 100 percent for postpartum non-breastfeeding women in 2012 and 2016. This is likely a result of sampling variability in the CPS-ASEC survey data used to estimate the number of eligible individuals in those States (denominator of the rate). See chapter 6 of the full report for more information.
