Poverty Threshold Poverty thresholds are determined by the U.S. Census Bureau. A poverty threshold represents the minimum annual household income for a family not to be considered poor. In $2003,$ the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $\$ 18,660$. In 2013 , the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $\$ 23,624$. Assuming that poverty thresholds increase in a straight-line fashion, use the midpoint formula to estimate the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 in $2008 .$ How does your result compare to the actual poverty threshold in 2008 of $\$ 21,834 ?$
