Poverty Threshold Poverty thresholds are determined by the U.S. Census Bureau. A poverty threshold represents the minimum annual household income for a family not to be considered poor. In 2004, the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $19,157. In 2012, the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $23,283. Assuming poverty thresholds increase in a straight-line fashion, use the midpoint formula to estimate the poverty threshold of a family of four with two children under the age of 18 in 2008. How does your result compare to the actual poverty threshold in 2008 of $21,834?
