Poverty in the United States is measured by comparing family income with one of 48 poverty thresholds--the dollar amounts used to determine who is poor. (census.gov)
The poverty thresholds are the original version of the federal poverty measure. (hhs.gov)
The thresholds are used mainly for statistical purpose - for instance, preparing estimates of the number of Americans in poverty each year. (hhs.gov)
Poverty thresholds since 1973 (and for selected earlier years) and weighted average poverty thresholds since 1959 are available on the Census Bureau's Web site. (hhs.gov)
For an example of how the Census Bureau applies the thresholds to a family's income to determine its poverty status, see " How the Census Bureau Measures Poverty " on the Census Bureau's web site. (hhs.gov)
The guidelines are a simplification of the poverty thresholds for use for administrative purposes - for instance, determining financial eligibility for certain federal programs. (hhs.gov)
Key differences between poverty thresholds and poverty guidelines are outlined in a table under Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). (hhs.gov)
Note that the poverty thresholds - the original version of the poverty measure - have never had separate figures for Alaska and Hawaii. (hhs.gov)
only the Census Bureau (statistical) poverty thresholds have separate figures for aged and non-aged one-person and two-person units. (hhs.gov)
In view of the recent major proposal to revise the way in which the United States measures poverty, it may be useful to review the development and subsequent history of the current official poverty thresholds. (hhs.gov)
The poverty thresholds were originally developed in 1963-1964 by Mollie Orshansky of the Social Security Administration. (hhs.gov)
She published an analysis of the poverty population using these thresholds in a January 1965 Social Security Bulletin article. (hhs.gov)
Orshansky based her poverty thresholds on the economy food plan - the cheapest of four food plans developed by the Department of Agriculture. (hhs.gov)
Orshansky also developed a second set of poverty thresholds based on the Agriculture Department's somewhat less stringent low-cost food plan, but relatively little use was ever made of these higher thresholds. (hhs.gov)
Accordingly, she calculated poverty thresholds for families of three or more persons by taking the dollar costs of the economy food plan for families of those sizes and multiplying the costs by a factor of three - the "multiplier. (hhs.gov)
She derived poverty thresholds for two-person families by multiplying the dollar cost of the food plan for that family size by a somewhat higher multiplier (3.7) also derived from the 1955 survey. (hhs.gov)
She derived poverty thresholds for one-person units directly from the thresholds for two-person units, without using a multiplier. (hhs.gov)
The result was a detailed matrix of 124 poverty thresholds, although the figures generally cited were weighted average thresholds for each family size. (hhs.gov)
In her January 1965 article, Orshansky presented the poverty thresholds as a measure of income inadequacy, not of income adequacy - "if it is not possible to state unequivocally 'how much is enough,' it should be possible to assert with confidence how much, on an average, is too little. (hhs.gov)
In April-May 1965, it was decided to set farm poverty thresholds at 70 percent of the corresponding nonfarm thresholds, and to update the thresholds for annual price changes by the yearly change in the per capita cost of the economy food plan. (hhs.gov)

She warns that the recent slowdown of growth globally could translate into a slowdown of poverty reduction as commodity producers could be very hard hit by the decline in commodity prices. (worldbank.org)
