> That looks like you are taking the world individual income distribution and the US household poverty line for single member households. That's...not really sensible. It's quite accurate. But let's dot our i's and cross our t's as the procedural criticism is a fair one. U.S. poverty for a single household with 1 member is $12,880. Plug that into our handy WAPO calculator here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/business/global-income-calculator/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/business/global... And you are better off than 80% of the world (if the calculator is to be believed). Try it yourself!
