based on data from the U.S. census.



The map, created with the help of Google Fusion Tables, shows the percentage of individuals living in poverty in each state. The map also shows the percentage of the population in each state living without health insurance and the median income in each state.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='

Hello All

I never trust statistics especially when they take an average wages to gauge poverty. you can have 90% of state living in poverty and couple of billionares in the states added in the statistic, that pushes up the average earnings above poverty levels, leaving politicans can play with the figures. Cheesy

I think you will get a more accurate picture of household statistics, the one statistic politicians in power never seem speak of. Angry

LOL!   Like the Unemployment figures they use.

If you don't count the people that the benefits have run out the numbers are only half of the real figures.

      Not making light of the situation and not saying that things in the US do not need to improve, but the map and the statistics completely ignore the actual standard of living of the "average" American living in poverty versus what that would translate outside the United States.   When "middle class" and "upper middle class" Americans think of poverty, the images that frequently come to mind are the images you see on "Save the Children" commercial.   On the other hand, people living in poverty in countries where the "Save the Children" lifestyle is accurate view the lifestyles of the average American living in poverty, they'd think that person was wealthy.

Hello All

Actually BA you make a very good point. I as far as I know and I could wrong so please some one correct me if I am wrong, there is no international accepted standard of rating poverty. Poverty is rated as per each countries perception of poverty based on GDP.
