These average poverty thresholds were derived by increasing the
2003 weighted |
|
|
average thresholds by a factor of 1.026630 which reflects the
percent change in the |
|
|
average annual Consumer Price Index between 2003 and 2004. These estimates |
|
|
may differ by a few dollars from the thresholds that will be
published in the final |
|
|
report on the 2004 poverty population. |
|
|
|
If you have any questions concerning these poverty thresholds,
please call |
