| Abstract | This report presents statistics on social and economic characteristics of the population below the poverty level in 1985 based on the March 1986 Current Population Survey (CPS). The data in the report consist of cross classifications of poverty status by such characteristics as age, race, sex, family relationship, educational attainment, work experience, and type of income received. Among the highlights of the report are the following: (1) the poverty population numbered 33.1 million in 1985, a number not significantly different from that for 1984; (2) about 34 percent of the poor were children under age 15, and 43 percent were under 20 years old; (3) children under age 10 had a poverty rate higher than any other age group in 1985; (4) 69 percent of poor persons in 1985 were white; (5) 16 percent of the poor were Hispanic; (6) about 48 percent of poor families were maintained by women with no husband present; (7) half of all poor family householders 25 years and older had not graduated from high school; (8) about 62 percent of the nation's poor families gained at least some of their income in 1985 from their own earnings; (9) the average amount of money needed to raise the incomes of poor families above their respective poverty threshold was about $4,300 in 1985; and (10) the total amount required to raise the incomes of all poor families and unrelated individuals above the poverty level in 1985 was $47.8 billion.
