About
This metric shows young adults in poverty between the ages of 25 and 34. The percentage is calculated by dividing total young adults in poverty (ages 25-34) by total young adults (ages 25-34). The Census poverty measure compares the poverty threshold with income 12 months prior to the survey response. If an individual or household's income is below the poverty threshold, they are considered to be in poverty.
