The U.S. national poverty rate declined significantly to 12.5% during the 5-year period from 2018 to 2022, according to American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates released today.
The rate was down from 14.6% during 2013-2017, the most recent nonoverlapping 5-year period.
All regions increased poverty rates +/- 3.2%.
Looking at the numbers the sharpest increases in poverty came in the 2020-2022 period
This shows 2018-2020 poverty low enough to overcome 2020-2022 FJB
