Methodology: Counties with under 1000 resident families are excluded from this ranking. Counties that are part of territories (e.g. Puerto Rico) are also excluded. The data used for the ranking comes from the Census’ 5-year American Community Survey income estimates for 2021. First, we rank by the percentage of families making less than $25k per year (in 2021). We then break ties by the percentage of families making less than $15k per year. Remaining ties are then broken by the percentage of families making less than $10k per year. Finally, ties that still exist are broken by comparing median family income. Notably, this is not the same way that “poverty” is traditionally defined, nor does it account for regional differences in cost of living.
