Poverty in America = Population 33,000,000. (12%) It's the second largest state in America.
Poverty in Australia its officailly 110 000, unfortunatly Australia doesn' have any accurate measures so it is possible it is more like 10% as well.
Every 43 seconds in the United States a child is born into poverty
Every 53 minutes in the United States a child dies from causes related to poverty
In 2002, the official poverty threshold, as defined by the US federal government, for a family of four was $18,250. Yet, most researchers agree that a basic family budget for a two-parent, two-child family ranges from $27,005 a year to $52,114, depending on the community.
Poverty is bigger than Texas, Florida or New York . It holds more people than Connecticut, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey and Nevada combined. It is home to one out of every eleven families and is home to one out of every six children.
