10%

It's also likely to be closer to 10% now, as american poverty has been steadily declining for the last decade. For someone to be considered to be living under the line of poverty, they must be living on an annual income insufficient to meet minimal food and other basic needs. The poverty threshold is set by the government and calculated based on consumer needs, and adjusted yearly for inflation.
