What this measure is
The share of people living below the federal poverty line, out of the people whose poverty status the Census Bureau can determine (it leaves out, for example, students in college dormitories). The poverty line depends on family size but is the same across the country, so it does not allow for local living costs. It is a Census Bureau survey estimate pooled over five years; in census tracts and block groups, white stripes over the colour mark low reliability: a wide margin of error.
