    Interactive Data Tool

    Note: Works best in Chrome and Firefox.

    This interactive map provides data for every state on the percent of all people living in poverty, based on the 2019 American Community Survey (ACS).

    Scroll over a state on the map to view the percent of all people and the percent of children (under age 18) below poverty. The margin of error for each estimate is shown in parentheses.

    Explore the interactive, searchable poverty tables by state:

    • ★ Table 1. Number of People Below Poverty by State, 2019
    • ★ Table 2. Number of Children Below Poverty by State, 2019
