Notes

The population for whom poverty status is determined excludes those living in group quarters (i.e., institutionalized people, people in military barracks, and people in college dormitories) and unrelated individuals under age 15 (e.g., foster children). Municipalities with cross-county boundaries are marked with an asterisk.
