The table lists how poverty level income cutoffs (in dollars) for a family of four have changed over time. Use the midpoint formula to approximate the poverty level cutoff in 2016 to the nearest dollar. $$ \begin{array}{c|c} \text { Year } & \text { Income (in dollars) } \\ \hline 1990 & 13,359 \\ \hline 2000 & 17,604 \\ \hline 2010 & 22,315 \\ \hline 2015 & 24,257 \\ \hline 2017 & 25,094 \\ \hline \end{array} $$

A poverty threshold represents the minimum annual household income for a family not to be considered poor. In 1995, the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $15,610. In 2005, the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children under the age of 18 years was $19,173. Assuming poverty thresholds increase in a straight-line fashion, use the midpoint formula to estimate the poverty threshold of a family of four with two children under the age of 18 in 2000.
