12.58 Families in Poverty. In 2000, 8.6% of all U.S. families had incomes below the poverty level, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau in Current Population Reports. During that same year, of 400 randomly selected families whose householder had at least a Bachelor's degree, 9 had incomes below the poverty level.
