Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A ratio greater than 1.00 means the family's income is higher than the poverty threshold and they are not considered to be living in poverty. A ratio between 1.00 and 1.25 indicates a family is "near poor," meaning they are above the poverty threshold but still face financial challenges. A ratio greater than zero is not a useful measure since it includes families with very low incomes relative to the poverty threshold. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.
