| The poverty level in 1998 was an income of $8,050 or less for one person, $10,850 or less for two people, $13,650 for three people, and $16,450 for four. These figures are redefined each year based on the cost of living and were correspondingly lower in 1990. Poverty rates will vary over time and move with the general economic conditions. The proportion of the population living below the poverty level in California increased by over 13% between the 1990 Census and the 2000 Census, as shown above. |
