The poverty level varies by region.

I would consider $40k / year poverty level in Buffalo, NY. It's a rather upscale area.



Ever driven through rural America? Lots of people raise their own chickens, keep hens for eggs, grow their own veggies and fruit. Their property taxes are low, their income is low, but they're not hungry, and often want for nothing.
