Here we will determine if a total yearly gross household income of $20,000 with 1 family member is considered poor or not poor.
A family of 1 is considered poor if the household income is less than $11,880 according to
the Department of Health and Human Services.
Since $20,000 is more than $11,880, a household of 1 making $20,000 is considered:
Not Poor
This family would have to make $8,120 less per year to be considered poor.
The information above applies to the 48 contiguous states. A family of 1 would have to make less than $14,840 in Alaska or less than $13,670 in Hawaii to be
considered poor.
Is $20,100 a year in a household
of 1 considered poor?
Here is the status for the next household income we looked at.
