Income Poor in 1980 for 6.2 Million Families Nationwide
A Census Bureau report details that about 6.2 million families and 29.3 million individuals were classified as poor in 1980. White families earned more than non whites, with median incomes of 21 900 for whites, 14 720 for Spanish origin, and 12 670 for blacks. Real income fell for men and was nearly unchanged for women, with inflation eroding earnings across regions and groups. The report notes that money income omits noncash benefits and discusses factors such as aging baby boomers, rising female-headed households, and more married women working to lift incomes. It explains the poverty line and family definitions used in the census.
