All population values refer to population where poverty status could be determined. All data values are estimates, a margin of error can be computed for each estimate. Poverty Official Definition. Estimates of the population in poverty are developed by many Federal statistical programs. Estimates provided in the ranking table have been developed using the Census Bureau American Community Survey in combination with other data. More generally and following the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) statistical policy, 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. 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). Additional Information.
