In 2023, about four percent of the people with a Bachelor's degree or higher were living below the poverty line in the United States. This is far below the poverty rate of those without a high school diploma, which was 25.1 percent in 2023.

The 2020-2021 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates are based on school locations from the 2020-2021 Common Core of Data (CCD) school file and income data from families with children ages 5 to 17 in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year collection. The ACS is a continuous household survey that collects social, demographic, economic, and housing information from the population in the United States each month. The Census Bureau calculates the income-to-poverty ratio (IPR) based on money income reported for families relative to the poverty thresholds, which are determined based on the family size and structure. Noncash benefits (such as food stamps and housing subsidies) are excluded, as are capital gains and losses. The IPR is the percentage of family income that is above or below the federal poverty level. The IPR indicator ranges from 0 to a top-coded value of 999. A family with income at the poverty threshold has an IPR value of 100. The estimates in this file reflect the IPR for the neighborhoods around schools which may be different from the neighborhood conditions of students enrolled in schools.All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.

In 2023, about 36.79 million Americans were living below the national poverty line in the United States. Of those Americans, around 4.04 million had a four-year degree or higher. This means they have an income below 100 percent of the national poverty level as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The 2018-2019 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates are based on school locations from the 2018-2019 Common Core of Data (CCD) school file and income data from families with children ages 5 to 17 in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year collection.

This statistic shows the percentage of the population aged 25 and over that live in households in poverty, as distinguished by their education level and household type. 47 percent of female householders with related children under the age of 18 who had never graduated from high school were living in poverty as of 2018.

In 2024, Saxony achieved the best result in comparison with other German federal states, with a score of 76.6 points on the educational monitor scale. In contrast, Bremen scored -10.9 points, indicating that it had the highest level of educational poverty out of all the German states. The average for the whole of Germany was 35.2 points. Educational poverty is measured by the share of successful graduates from the vocational preparation year (Berufsvorbereitungsjahres - BVJ) and the size of risk groups in different subject areas. The educational monitor has the aim, according to the source, to work out the strengths and weaknesses of the education systems in individual federal states and document the changes over time. The study included several indicators that are assigned to 12 action areas and measure the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of education systems.

The U.S. Census Bureau's Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program provides annual estimates of income and poverty statistics for all school districts, counties, and states. The main objective of this program is to provide estimates of income and poverty for the administration of federal programs and the allocation of federal funds to local jurisdictions. In addition to these federal programs, state and local programs use the income and poverty estimates for distributing funds and managing programs. In order to implement provisions under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended, we produce total population, number of children ages 5 to 17, and number of related children ages 5 to 17 in families in poverty estimates for school districts.

Will all children be able to read by 2030? The ability to read with comprehension is a foundational skill that every education system around the world strives to impart by late in primary school—generally by age 10. Moreover, attaining the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in education requires first achieving this basic building block, and so does improving countries’ Human Capital Index scores. Yet past evidence from many low- and middle-income countries has shown that many children are not learning to read with comprehension in primary school. To understand the global picture better, we have worked with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) to assemble a new dataset with the most comprehensive measures of this foundational skill yet developed, by linking together data from credible cross-national and national assessments of reading. This dataset covers 115 countries, accounting for 81% of children worldwide and 79% of children in low- and middle-income countries. The new data allow us to estimate the reading proficiency of late-primary-age children, and we also provide what are among the first estimates (and the most comprehensive, for low- and middle-income countries) of the historical rate of progress in improving reading proficiency globally (for the 2000-17 period). The results show that 53% of all children in low- and middle-income countries cannot read age-appropriate material by age 10, and that at current rates of improvement, this “learning poverty” rate will have fallen only to 43% by 2030. Indeed, we find that the goal of all children reading by 2030 will be attainable only with historically unprecedented progress. The high rate of “learning poverty” and slow progress in low- and middle-income countries is an early warning that all the ambitious SDG targets in education (and likely of social progress) are at risk. Based on this evidence, we suggest a new medium-term target to guide the World Bank’s work in low- and middle- income countries: cut learning poverty by at least half by 2030. This target, together with improved measurement of learning, can be as an evidence-based tool to accelerate progress to get all children reading by age 10.

The educational level was directly related to the incidence of poverty in Angola from March 2018 to February 2019. Among people with no education, 56.5 percent lived with a level of consumption below the poverty line. Among individuals with primary education, the rate amounted to 54.9 percent. Even though the poverty incidence amid people with a higher education was the lowest, 17.3 percent of people with an upper secondary education or more was living above the poverty line. In December 2018, the total poverty line in Angola was estimated at roughly 12.2 thousand Kwanzas (approximately 22 U.S. dollars).

As of 2021, approximately 7.7 percent of the Indian population was multidimensionally poor and deprived in years of schooling. This reflected a lower percentage of population living in multidimensional poverty and deprivation of years of schooling in India. According to the source, a multidimensional poor individual is deprived in one-third or more of ten indicators across three equally weighted dimensions: health, education, and standard of living. Years of schooling and school attendance are the two indicators of the education dimension.

Dataset replaced by: http://data.europa.eu/euodp/data/dataset/7lCxY0628A2QHXhMTo3ccQ This indicator is defined as the share of persons with an equivalised disposable income below the risk-of-poverty threshold, which is set at 60 % of the national median equivalised disposable income (after social transfers).

During the observed period, the level of extreme poverty has increased in all groups mentioned. However, the group most at risk of extreme poverty in Poland were people with**************** education in 2024.

This data collection contains information gathered in the Survey of Income and Education (SIE) conducted in April-July 1976 by the Census Bureau for the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). Although national estimates of the number of children in poverty were available each year from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS), those estimates were not statistically reliable on a state-by-state basis. In enacting the Educational Amendments of 1974, Congress mandated that HEW conduct a survey to obtain reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of school-age children in local areas with family incomes below the federal poverty level. This was the statistic that determined the amount of grant a local educational agency was entitled to under Title 1, Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. (Such funds were distributed by HEW's Office of Education.) The SIE was the survey created to fulfill that mandate. Its questions include those used in the Current Population Survey regarding current employment, past work experience, and income. Additional questions covering school enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp recipiency, assets, and housing costs enabled the study of the poverty concept and of program effectiveness in reaching target groups. Basic household information also was recorded, including tenure of unit (a determination of whether the occupants of the living quarters owned, rented, or occupied the unit without rent), type of unit, household language, and for each member of the household: age, sex, race, ethnicity, marital history, and education.

The 2015-2016 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates are based on school locations from the 2015-2016 Common Core of Data (CCD) school file and income data from families with children ages 5 to 17 in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2012-2016 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year collection.

Noncash benefits (such as food stamps and housing subsidies) are excluded, as are capital gains and losses. The IPR is the percentage of family income that is above or below the federal poverty level. The IPR indicator ranges from 0 to a top-coded value of 999. A family with income at the poverty threshold has an IPR value of 100.
