How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Alachua County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Alachua County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Alachua County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Population: 556,885 | Number of Households: 225,226Median Household Income: $47,907 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 81,081 (36%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Brevard County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Brevard County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Brevard County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 139,377 | Number of Households: 60,315Median Household Income: $35,671 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 28,348 (47%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Citrus County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Citrus County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Citrus County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 34,785 | Number of Households: 10,964Median Household Income: $36,114 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 4,934 (45%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many DeSoto County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more DeSoto County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in DeSoto County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 102,408 | Number of Households: 36,798Median Household Income: $51,622 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 15,087 (41%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Flagler County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Flagler County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Flagler County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Glades County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Glades County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Glades County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Hendry County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Hendry County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Hendry County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 175,855 | Number of Households: 70,558Median Household Income: $40,255 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 31,751 (45%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Holmes County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Holmes County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Holmes County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Lafayette County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Lafayette County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Lafayette County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 315,690 | Number of Households: 117,696Median Household Income: $47,191 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 49,432 (42%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 40,057 | Number of Households: 15,638Median Household Income: $35,483 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 7,506 (48%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Levy County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Levy County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Levy County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 76,619 | Number of Households: 28,336Median Household Income: $52,249 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 9,918 (35%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Nassau County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Nassau County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Nassau County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 310,211 | Number of Households: 89,328Median Household Income: $42,899 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 50,024 (56%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Osceola County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Osceola County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Osceola County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 938,098 | Number of Households: 402,575Median Household Income: $45,152 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 165,056 (41%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Pinellas County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Pinellas County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Pinellas County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many St Johns County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more St Johns County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in St Johns County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Seminole County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Seminole County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Seminole County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Union County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Union County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Union County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.

Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 507,531 | Number of Households: 200,729Median Household Income: $40,818 (state average: $47,463)Florida Underemployment Rate for 2014: 12.8%Households Below ALICE Threshold: 90,328 (45%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

Note: Municipal-level data on this page is for Places and County Subdivisions, which include Census Designated Places (CDP). These are overlapping geographies so totals will not match county-level data. Municipal-level data often relies on 5-year averages and is not available for the smallest towns that do not report income.
Families with Children by Income, 2014
Assets, All Households, 2014
How many families with children are struggling?Children add significant expense to a family budget, so it is not surprising that many Washington County families with children live below the ALICE Threshold. Though more Washington County families are headed by married parents, those families with a single parent are more likely to have income below the ALICE Threshold.
What assets do households have?Ownership of assets can contribute to stability of households. Yet few families in Washington County own liquid assets, such as a savings account, 401(k) plan, or rental income, that are readily available to cover emergency expenses. Vehicles, the most common asset, depreciate over time. Homeownership, the next most common asset, can build wealth, but is not a liquid asset.
