Includes: wages, salaries, self-employment income, Social Security, pensions, investments, unemployment, public assistance, and rental income.

Does NOT include: capital gains, non-cash benefits (like food stamps), or tax refunds.

💡 What does the Poverty Rate represent?

Definition: The percentage of people in this area living below the federal poverty threshold.
