Research suggests that, on average, families need an income of about twice the federal poverty threshold to meet their most basic needs. Children living in families with incomes below this level—$51,852 for a family of four with two children in 2019—are referred to as low income. The United States measures poverty by an outdated standard developed in the 1960s.
