Data for Indicator 1.2.1 comes from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) poverty estimates. The U.S. poverty threshold varies based on year and family size.

We define people living below the national poverty line as people from households which earn less than 100% of the U.S. national poverty level for the specific year.
