Why This Indicator Matters
Children born into "deep" poverty are three times more likely to be in deep poverty as adults, and experience greater toxic stress and adverse experiences than children in living in or above poverty levels. To get more context on the implications of deep poverty see this Brookings report and this National Center for Children in Poverty fact sheet.

Definition and Source
PROVIDER
Definition
In 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau defined the poverty level as a combined annual income of roughly $32,700 for a family of four (two adults and two children). 50% of the Federal Poverty Level for a family of four is half the amount of the poverty level (roughly $16,350 for a family of four in 2025).
This indicator represents children ages 0-17 below 50% FPL.
This indicator represents children ages 0-17 below 50% FPL.
The percent reflects the total number of children below 50% FPL of the total number of children 0-17 in that locality.
*for the most recent year, counts under 20 within a county were censored, but the percentage was reported
