Note: LICOs represent 1992 base year. This table describes both the "depth" of poverty among low-income families with children under 18 and the "height" of non-poverty among the non low-income families. Because the LICOs are indexed annually by the change in the cost of living, changes in income relative to the LICOs represent changes in "real" income. Thus, this table shows whether low-income families are getting more orless poor over time and whether non low-income families are getting wealthier over time.

Note: LICOs represent 1992 base year. This table describes both the "depth" of poverty among low-income families with children under 18 and the "height" of non-poverty among the non low-income families. Because the LICOs are indexed annually by the change in the cost of living, changes in income relative to the LICOs represent changes in "real" income. Thus, this table shows whether low-income families are getting more orless poor over time and whether non low-income families are getting wealthier over time.

Note: This table describes both the "depth" of poverty among low-income families with children under 18 and the "height" of non-poverty among the non low-income families. Because the LIM is set with reference to median family income, changes in income relative to the LIMs describe shifts in the income distribution and not changes in inflation-adjusted ("real") incomes.
