Question about Poverty Threshold Base year 1982

by Sulabh Aryal

Hi everyone, Digging onto the Census documentation I found out that poverty thresholds are determined by multiplying the base-year poverty thresholds (1982) by the average of the monthly inflation factor. Does anyone can explain why this particular year 1982 is taken as base year. Thanks, Sulabh Sulabh Aryal Associate Planner Richmond Regional Planning District Commission 9211 Forest Hill Avenue, Suite 200 Richmond, VA 23235 Phone: 804.323.2033 3 Fax: 804.323.2025 saryal(a)richmondregional.org<mailto:saryal@richmondregional.org> 3 www.richmondregional.org<http://www.richmondregional.org>
