华盛顿9月15日路透电——美国人口普查局周二表示，2025年美国贫困率小幅下降至有记录以来最低水平，同时家庭收入中位数创下历史新高。该局称，2025年美国贫困人口为3450万。
此次贫困率下降是连续第二年年度回落，降至该局开始追踪该数据以来的最低值。此时正值政策制定者就联邦开支削减对社会保障项目的影响展开辩论之际。

该局表示，贫困率——即生活在贫困线以下的人口比例——下降0.5个百分点，去年降至10.2%。考虑到非现金政府福利和税收因素的补充贫困率为13.1%，家庭收入中位数增长2.6%，达到87460美元。
该局称，2025年，一个有两名成年人和两名儿童的家庭，年收入低于32649美元即被归类为贫困家庭。儿童官方贫困率在2025年降至13.4%的历史低点。
该局表示，2025年大多数美国人在部分或全部时间内拥有医疗保险，但仍有2670万人，即总人口的7.9%，在任何时候都没有医疗保险。

该局称，这一数据与前一年相比没有显著变化，未参保率仍接近历史低位。

WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. poverty rate edged down to the lowest on record in 2025, while median household income hit a record high, the Census Bureau said on Tuesday. There were 34.5 million people in poverty in 2025, the agency said.
The decline marked the second consecutive annual drop in the poverty rate and brought it to its lowest level since the bureau began tracking the measure. It came as policymakers debate the impact of federal spending cuts on safety-net programs.

The poverty rate — the percentage of people living in poverty — dipped 0.5 percentage point to 10.2% last year, the bureau said. The supplemental measure of poverty, which takes into account non-cash government benefits and taxes, was at 13.1%, and the median household income increased 2.6% to $87,460.
In 2025, a family with two adults and two children was classified as in poverty if their annual income was less than $32,649, the bureau said. The official poverty rate for children fell to a historic low of 13.4% in 2025.
Most people in the United States had health insurance for some or all of 2025, the bureau said, but 26.7 million people, or 7.9% of the population, did not have health coverage at any time.

This was not a significant change from the previous year, the bureau said, and the uninsured rate remained near historic lows.
