What will be an ideal response?

Poverty is a situation in which a household's income is too low to be able to buy the quantities of food, shelter, and clothing that are deemed necessary. Poverty is a relative concept. Minorities have historically been over-represented among those households living in poverty in the United States. In particular, 13 percent of white households live in poverty while 26 percent of Hispanic-origin households and 27 percent of black households lived in poverty.
