Poverty Levels: Children Age 5 and Under by Federal Poverty Level

Our interactive map lets users view the data by year and either number or percentage of children by a selected federal poverty level (FPL). Users also can hover their cursor over individual counties or Chicago Community Areas (CCAs) to get the specific results for that county or CCA. Federal poverty levels shown are 50%, 100%, 130%, 185%, 200%, and 400%.
