Abstract:	We examine how useful the longitudinal Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) can be for making state-level analysis. Even though SIPP is not designed to be state-representative, for many large states, it closely approximates "state representativeness." We examine state estimates of poverty, health insurance coverage, unemployment, and income from SIPP and compare them to two other state-representative Census Bureau data products: the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey. Our findings demonstrate for many larger states, SIPP can be used for some state-level analyses. However, we expand on cautionary notes for users of the SIPP data at the state level. The bottom line is that for some types of analyses, the SIPP is useful for state-level estimates, but should be used with caution by informed researchers.
