WASHINGTON — The number of Americans living in severe poverty hit its highest point in 20 years in 2016, according to a Pew Research analysis of census data.
This happened even though the overall poverty rate declined and income rose for the second year in a row.
The official poverty rate was 12.7 percent in 2016, a number representing 40.6 million people. That number was down, but the percentage of the poor in extreme poverty — 45.6 percent — was up from 39.5 percent 10 years ago. (TAB)
