Here we will determine if a total yearly gross household income of $500, with 5 family members is considered poor or not poor.
A family of 5 is considered poor if the household income is less than $28,440 according to
the Department of Health and Human Services.
Since $500, is less than $28,440, a household of 5 making $500, is considered:
Poor
This family would have to make $27,940 more per year to be considered not poor.
The information above applies to the 48 contiguous states. A family of 5 would have to make less than $35,560 in Alaska or less than $32,710 in Hawaii to be
considered poor.
Is $600, a year in a household
of 5 considered poor?
Here is the status for the next household income we looked at.
