The poverty line, which is also sometimes called the poverty threshold, in a country is the smallest amount of money that a family needs to make to be able to buy what it needs to live.[1] In the United States, the poverty line is different depending on how many people there are in a family, so the poverty line will be higher in a family with eight people than in a family with three people.[2] This is because it costs more money to buy food and other supplies in a family with more people.
