Abstract

examine characteristics of individuals affected by poverty in the United States. First, we will analyze data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau through previous measures and their implementation of the Supplemental Poverty Measure. Secondly, we will study data from 2021 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates to establish a relationship between poverty and education. The findings reveal a statistically significant relationship between poverty and education. Education alone is not enough to fight poverty. Further research is needed in overlapping poverty in the United States.
