Further information The U.S. Census Bureau uses a set of dollar value thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. A person under 65 living alone is considered poor, if the annual income is less than $11,702. This threshold is calculated for 2011.

For 2004, figures are revised to reflect a correction to the weights in the 2005 ASEC.
For 2000: Consistent with 2001 data through implementation of Census 2000-based population controls and a 28,000 household sample expansion.
For 1999, figures are based on Census 2000 population controls.
For 1992, figures are based on 1990 census population controls.
For 1991, figures are revised to correct for nine omitted weights from the original March 1992 CPS file.
