US Low Household Income 11-16-25

The exact 2025 US household income for the lowest 10% is not yet finalized, but preliminary data suggests it is around $19,955. For comparison, the 2024 income threshold was about $19,750, and the 2025 figures will be finalized by official government sources, such as the Census Bureau, later this year.  

Finalized data: Official figures are not yet available from the U.S. Census Bureau, but estimates can be made using historical trends and projections.

Estimation: Based on historical income distribution data and projected inflation, the 2025 income for the lowest 10% of households is estimated to be around $19,955.

Comparison: The 2024 figure was approximately $19,750, and the 2025 estimate reflects a modest increase over the previous year.

Official sources: Keep an eye on official reports from the Census Bureau for the definitive 2025 figures. 

The income for U.S. households in the lowest 10% is generally considered to be below the official federal poverty guidelines, as specific decile thresholds for 2025 are not yet universally finalized or published by official sources like the Census Bureau. 

However, the 2025 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) poverty guideline for a single-person household is $15,650 annually. This figure is commonly used as a benchmark for defining "low income" and determining eligibility for various assistance programs, though the exact threshold can vary by household size and location. 

For context, the median U.S. household income for 2024 was reported as approximately $83,730, and the data for the full calendar year 2025 will be published in September 2026. 

You can find more detailed information and potentially use an income percentile calculator for specific data points on the DQYDJ website. Eligibility for various federal and state assistance programs can also be checked via resources like the 211.org website.

The HHS poverty guideline is $15,650 annually.

In 1960, young singles would gather friends in groups of 3 or 4 to be “roommates”. They each worked and each contributed to rent, utility and food expenses. This strategy is being used in 2025 by some singles with mixed results. Young singles with loans to pay live with parents or grandparents.
