The District of Columbia’s poverty rate is far above the national
average and has remained high even in periods of strong economic growth.
Some 133,000 residents — nearly one-quarter of the population — are
low income, which in 2006-2007 corresponded to an income at or below
$24,475 a year for a family of three.[i] DC’s low-income population is
so large that it would overflow RFK Stadium and the Nationals’ Ballpark
combined.

earnings that classify them as low income.
