infoDefinitions

The Census Bureau issues preliminary poverty thresholds in January, and final poverty thresholds in September of the year after the year for which poverty is measured. The poverty thresholds are adjusted to the price level of the year for which poverty is measured. The poverty threshold is utilized for statistical purposes to calculate the number of people in poverty. Poverty guidelines are issued by the Department of Health and Human Services and are used for administrative purposes to determine financial eligibility for certain programs. In 2019, poverty guidelines were as follows: a household of one making less than $12,060 and a household of four making less than $24,600.

Friends,

After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do. We made this decision with the greatest care for our organizational values of leadership, community, and accountability, and we hope you’ll read more about it on our blog.

Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.

While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.

– Team SA2020
