Ventura County, 2021
CDP: Census Designated Place. Universe includes all people for whom poverty is determined. Data represent a 2016 through 2020 average. We defined economic hardship as those with family incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The federal poverty threshold in 2020 for a family of four with two children was about $26,200 (thus, 200 percent of the federal poverty threshold was about $52,400).
