Poverty
The latest data "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 the 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)... For consistency with past reports, the income and poverty estimates in the main sections
of this report are based on the concept of money income, which
is pretax and does not include these stimulus payments and tax
credits
Supplemental Poverty Measure "SPM estimates incorporate deductions, such as tax payments, work expenses, and medical costs, ... as well as additions to reflect noncash resource transfers such as housing subsidies and food assistance programs. Thresholds used in the SPM ... are adjusted for geographic differences in the cost of housing."
