Poverty
Source: http:I/www.census.gov/hhes /www /poverty/povdef.html
Following the Office of Management and Budget's (0MB) Statistical Policy Directive 14, the
Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and
composition to determine who is in poverty. If a family's total income is less than the
family's threshold, then that family and every individual in it is considered in poverty. The
official poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated for inflation
using Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty definition uses money income
before taxes and does not include capital gains or noncash benefits (such as public
housing, Medicaid, and food stamps).

Income used to compute poverty status:

•

Money income
0
Includes earnings, unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, Social Security,
Supplemental Security Income, public assistance, veterans' payments, survivor benefits,
pension or retirement income, interest, dividends, rents, royalties, income from estates,
trusts, educational assistance, alimony, child support, assistance from outside the
household, and other miscellaneous sources.
0
Noncash benefits (such as food stamps and housing subsidies) do not count.
0
Before taxes.
0
Excludes capital gains or losses.
0
If a person lives with a family, add up the income of all family members. (Non-relatives,
such as housemates, do not count.)

Measure of need (poverty thresholds):

•
•
•

•
•
•

•

Poverty thresholds are the dollar amounts used to determine poverty status
Each person or family is assigned one out of 48 possible poverty thresholds
Thresholds vary according to size
0
Size of the family
0
Ages of the members
The same thresholds are used throughout the United States (do not vary geographically)
Updated annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) .
Although the thresholds in some sense reflect families needs,
0
They are intended for use as a statistical yardstick, not as a complete description of what
people and families need to live
0
Many government aid programs use a different poverty measure, the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) poverty guidelines, or multiples thereof
Poverty thresholds were originally derived in 1963-1964, using:
U.S. Department of Agriculture food budgets designed for families under economic stress
0
Data about what portion of their income families spent on food
0

Computation:
0

I

a

If total family income is less than the threshold appropriate for that family,
0
The family is in poverty
0
All family members have the same poverty status
..
o For md1v1duals who do not live with family members, their own income 1s compared with the 1
l
appropriate threshold
I
If total family income equals or is greater than the threshold, the family (or unrelated individual) is i
not in poverty

Example:

===============================d
2 of 3
E3 Institute-Advancing Excellence in Early Education-IN astEd
Funded by FIRST 5 Santa Clara County

•

Family A has five members: two children, their mother, father, and great-aunt.
o Their threshold was $23,108 dollars in 2004. (See poverty thresholds for 2004)
o Suppose the members' incomes in 2004 were:
!Mother:
!Father:
!Great-aunt:
!First child:
!second child:
!Total family income:11

•
•
•
•

$10,000I

s,oooj

10,000I

OI
ol

$25,000j

Compare total family income with their family's threshold.
Income / Threshold = $25,000 / $23,108 = 1.08
Since their income was greater than their threshold, Family A is not "in poverty" according to the
official definition.
The income divided by the threshold is called the Ratio of Income to Poverty.
o Family A's ratio of income to poverty was 1.08.
The difference in dollars between family income and the family's poverty threshold is called the
Income Deficit (for families in poverty) or Income Surplus (for families above poverty)
-- Family A's income surplus was $1,892 (or $25,000 - $23,108).

People whose poverty status cannot be determined:
• Unrelated individuals under age 15 (such as foster children)
o Income questions are asked of people age 15 and older
o If someone is under age 15 and not living with a family member, we do not know their
income
o Since we cannot determine their poverty status, they are excluded from the poverty
universe" (table totals)
• People in:
o Institutional group quarters (such as prisons or nursing homes)
o College dormitories
o Military barracks
o Living situations without conventional housing (and who are not in shelters)
Authority behind official poverty measure:
• The official measure of poverty was established by the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) in
Statistical Policy Directive 14.
• To be used by federal agencies in their statistical work.
• Government aid programs do not have to use the official poverty measure as eligibility criteria.
o Many government aid programs use a different poverty measure, the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) poverty guidelines, or variants thereof
o Each aid program may define eligibility differently
• Official poverty data come from the Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic
Supplement (ASEC), formerly called the Annual Demographic Supplement or simply the "March
Supplement."
