Definition

Children under age 18 who live in families with incomes less than 200% of the federal poverty level where more than 30% of the monthly income was spent on rent, mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and/or related expenses.

The federal poverty definition consists of a series of thresholds based on family size and composition. In 2022, the 200% poverty threshold for a family of two adults and two children was $59,356. Poverty status is not determined for people in military barracks, institutional quarters, or for unrelated individuals under age 15 (such as foster children).
