About this ranking

Share of people with equivalised disposable income below 60% of the national median, after social transfers.

Relative measure used in the EU. For the United States use poverty_rate, the official US measure.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. 7 regions with data in other periods have no value for 2023 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
