Life & Economy

Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary
17.0% of people[21]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

About 17 of every 100 people in Asuncion lived below the poverty line in 2021 (17.0%)[21]
