Definition and Source
PROVIDER
Definition
The federal poverty definition consists of a series of thresholds based on family size and composition. For 2022, the poverty threshold for a family of 4 with two children was $29,678. Poverty status is not determined for people in military barracks, institutional quarters, or for unrelated individuals under age 15 (such as foster children). The data are based on income received in the 12 months prior to the survey.
Data Source
PRB analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Census Supplementary Survey & American Community Survey table B17001.
