Child - A child by birth, a stepchild, or an adopted child of the householder, regardless of the child's age or marital status.
Poverty - the Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. If the total income for a family or unrelated individual falls below the relevant poverty threshold, then the family (and every individual in it) or unrelated individual is considered in poverty.
