Poverty
The United States Census bureau defines the poverty level for different classifications of Americans. The poverty level varies based on both the size and composition of the family. In 2007, the poverty level for a single adult is $10,210 whereas the level for a four-person family is $20,650. There is currently a great deal of debate concerning both the poverty level and the formula used to determine the various thresholds.
