In 1960, the federal poverty level for a family of four was set at $3,000 per year. This figure was established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which calculated the cost of a minimum diet and multiplied it by three to account for other living expenses. The poverty measurement has evolved since then, reflecting changes in the economy and cost of living.
