These average poverty thresholds were derived by increasing the
2006 weighted |
|
|
|
|
average thresholds by a factor of 1.028482 which reflects the
percent change in the |
|
|
|
|
average annual Consumer Price Index between 2006 and 2007. These estimates |
|
|
may differ by a few dollars from the thresholds that will be
published in the final |
|
|
report on the 2007 poverty population. |
