Poverty Thresholds Across the Rocky Mountain Region
Abstract: The ability of households to purchase a certain amount of essential items can determine whether they are classified as being impoverished. These spending thresholds differ at local levels because the costs of reaching a specified consumption level vary from community to community. Poverty thresholds across the Rocky Mountain region often exceed national averages, with some counties having nearly 30 percent higher thresholds than the national level.
