Pov poverty, income, poverty level, SES, socioeconomic status, poverty threshold, social determinants of health, health disparities Pov.UT_US The percentage of persons living in households whose income is at or below the federal poverty threshold. Estimated number of persons living in households whose income is at or below the federal poverty threshold as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Estimated number of persons in the population. Poverty status is determined by comparing annual income to a set of dollar values called thresholds that vary by family size, number of children, and age of householder. If a family's before tax money income is less than the dollar value of their threshold, then that family and every individual in it are considered to be in poverty. For people not living in families, poverty status is determined by comparing the individual's income to his or her threshold. The poverty threshold for a family of four including two children was $29,678 in 2022. Poverty thresholds are updated annually to allow for changes in the cost of living using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). They do not vary geographically. 01/05/2024 Poverty takes into account both income and family size, and has both immediate and long-lasting effects on health. Income provides an assessment of the financial resources available to individual persons or families for basic necessities (e.g., food, clothing, and healthcare) to maintain or improve their well-being. Persons living in poverty are worse off than persons in more affluent households for many of the indicators tracked by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. CSTE Chronic Disease Indicator - Poverty According to the American Community Survey (ACS), approximately 8.2% of Utah residents, or 273,052 Utahns, were living in poverty in 2022. This includes 77,607 children aged 17 and under. Healthcare "safety net" programs, such as Medicaid, CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Plan) provide some relief to those who are eligible. Utah's community health centers also fill a critical niche in providing high-quality health care services to Utahns of any income level. Programs such as Head Start and those that provide assistance linking people with jobs aim to reduce poverty by increasing social functioning and self-sufficiency. Other programs, such as minimum wage requirements, food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and government subsidized health insurance and child care, provide assistance to families needing additional support.

The results are typically released in the fall of each year. The ACS is a continuous survey, and people respond throughout the year. Since income is reported for the previous 12 months, the appropriate poverty threshold for each family is determined by multiplying the base-year poverty threshold (1982) by the average of monthly CPI values for the 12 months preceding the survey month. 3 x 07/25/2024 Status changed by: kimneerings@utah.gov 07/25/2024 PopChar Health status and access to healthcare services are strongly related to income and poverty.
