Households By Poverty Status. The Census Bureau each year sets a
national poverty line based upon the number of family members. The poverty line for a
family of four in 1990 was $12,674. The Bureau also breaks the poverty line into two broad
age groups; those 0 to 64 and those 65 and older. This allows you to study separately the
extent of poverty in the senior population. |
|
|
Above Poverty Line (Householder Age 0 to 64):
