They back into those factors by adjusting for both time and place, at the relevant thresholds. The "Human Development Index" correlates pretty strongly with income, such that you can say: at this (adjusted) income thresholds, people can afford X,Y,Z and the next threshold, they can also afford a,b,c. A more complex measure is the Multidimensional Poverty Index, which tracks Health+Eduction+StandardOfLiving, but even then the standard of living pretty closely aligns with income measures.
