According to NetAid, over a billion people, or roughly one in six, live in extreme poverty. Extreme poverty is defined as living on less than US$1 a day. The World Bank goes on to define moderate poverty as basic subsistence living, on $1 to $2 a day. All told, nearly half the world's population lives in poverty -- that's 2.8 billion people living on less than two dollars a day.
Roughly 13 to 17% living below the federal poverty line at any given point in time, and roughly 40% falling below the poverty line at some point within a 10-year time span.

In 2010, about 15.1 percent of all Americans lived in poverty. This means that the family as a whole was earning under 25,000 dollars. However, numbers have decreased since then.

Approximately 13.2 million children in the United States live in low-income families, according to the latest data from the National Center for Children in Poverty. These children are at a higher risk of facing challenges related to health, education, and overall well-being. Efforts to address poverty and support these families are crucial for improving the lives of vulnerable children.
Around 5,000 children die in the US due to homelessness, no water, no food.
6 Million
One in Six Americans live in Poverty
Several milion and it depends on what it means to be poor. For instance a working family of 4 ( 2 parents and 2 children) with a income under 31,000 a year is considered poor today. There are 25 million children who are homeless in this country, not to mention the numerous street population. In these cases there can't be an accurate count because many of these people move around and have no addresses from day to day.
The best way to answer this is to note that there are different measurements of poverty and different levels of poverty. People who live in extreme poverty live on less than US$ 1 per day, while those living in moderate poverty live on less than US$ 2 per day.
