Poverty is defined as the extent to which an individual does without resource. When it comes to money, the poverty line for a household of two adults and three children is $24,858 (2017 US Census Bureau). New Mexico has the second highest poverty rate per capita at 19.7% of its population. That means every fifth resident or about 400,000 in our state lives day-to-day financially.
