Answer to Question 1

(1 ) race-ethnicity: African Americans and Latinos are disproportionately poor;
(2 ) education: the chances of being poor decrease with each higher level of education;
(3 ) sex: households headed by women are more likely to be poor than two parent families or families headed by men

Answer to Question 2

The poverty line is based on what people are believed to spend for a low-cost food budget to feed a family of a specific number of dependents, multiplied by three.
