Poverty status is determined by comparing annual income to a set of dollar values called thresholds that vary by family size, number of children, and age of householder. If a family’s before tax money income is less than the dollar
value of their threshold, then that family and every individual in it are considered to be in poverty. For people not living in families, poverty status is determined by comparing the individual’s income to his or her threshold.
The poverty thresholds are updated annually to allow for changes in the cost of living using the Consumer Price Index
(CPI-U). They do not vary geographically.
