Per
capita income is measured by dividing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by total
population for specific period in a country. The period should be
yearly. USA per capita income is considered higher in the world.
Based
on International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported in 2018, USA ranked 9th
in the world in term of nominal GDP per capita. Top 10 countries with
average income in US$ are following:
1.
Luxembourg (US$ 120 thousands)
2.
Switzerland (US$ 87 thousands)
3.
Iceland (US$ 85 thousands)
4.
Macao SAR (US$ 84 thousands)
5.
Norway (US$ 83 thousands)
6.
Ireland (US$ 81 thousands)
7.
Qatar (US$ 66 thousands)
8.
Denmark (US$ 64 thousands)
9.
USA (US$ 62 thousands)
10.
Singapore (US$ 61 thousands)
Now,
back to the question: How much income is considered poor in the USA?
The Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS)
determine poverty line for two
categories in 2019, they are individual and household.
Person
be included as poor if his or her income below US$ 12,490 per year,
and US$ 25,750 of annual income for household of four (mom, dad and
two children) is considered under poverty line.
Since
cost of living is varies between one state to another state, then
each state has own poverty line. The state of Alaska poverty line for
individual is US$ 15,600 and US$ 14,380 for Hawaii. In term of
household, New York has poverty line of US$
29,016 for household of four, higher
than national average. Mississippi
has lower poverty line for household of four which is US$ 21,686.
How
much annual income to be considered poor in your country or state?

This is so interesting. I suppose it depends on the standard of living expected?

An interesting read. With the Brexit shambles that is laughable, there's going to be plenty more poorer people here in the UK.

Since cost of living is varies between one state to another state, then each state has own poverty line.
in the USA everything continues to go up in price, food has increased 25 percent since 1995; just read in paper that electric fee (which is not based on electric use) in my area will go up $40 per month; car and house insurance up; all a poor person can do is barely cover necessities nowadays, I don't think the poverty rate has increased commensurate with expenses.

DeleteIn Canada we call it the low-income measure, or LIM. It runs around $25,500 for a single person. It's difficult to compare it to other countries, though, what with the difference in the dollar, and the cost of living in cities vs. rural living. Our minimum wage is $14 in Ontario.
