These average poverty thresholds were derived by increasing the
2005 weighted |
|
|
|
|
average thresholds by a factor of 1.032258 which reflects the
percent change in the |
|
|
|
|
average annual Consumer Price Index between 2005 and 2006. These estimates |
|
|
may differ by a few dollars from the thresholds that will be
published in the final |
|
|
report on the 2006 poverty population. |
