报告:内布拉斯加补充贫困率7.5%为全美第二低,低于周边各州的8%至10.8%

一份最新报告显示,内布拉斯加州的补充贫困率(Supplemental Poverty Rate)为7.5%,在全美各州中第二低。周边各州的这一指标在8%至10.8%之间,均高于内布拉斯加。
补充贫困率是美国人口普查局采用的贫困衡量口径之一,除现金收入外,还计入税收抵免、营养与住房等非现金福利,并扣除税费与必要支出,比官方贫困率更全面地反映居民实际生活状况。
内布拉斯加长期以较低的失业率与生活成本著称,这份数据为该州的民生状况提供了一个新的参照。
Report: Nebraska's Supplemental Poverty Rate of 7.5% Is the Nation's Second Lowest, Below Neighboring States at 8% to 10.8%
A new report puts Nebraska's supplemental poverty rate at 7.5 percent, the second lowest among U.S. states. Neighboring states range from 8 percent to 10.8 percent on the same measure, all above Nebraska.
The Supplemental Poverty Measure, used by the U.S. Census Bureau, goes beyond cash income to include tax credits and noncash benefits such as nutrition and housing assistance, while subtracting taxes and necessary expenses, offering a fuller picture of residents' actual living conditions than the official poverty rate.
Nebraska has long been known for low unemployment and living costs, and the figure offers a fresh reference point for the state's household well-being.
