The poverty guideline figures are not the figures the Census Bureau uses to calculate the number of poor persons. The figures that the Census Bureau uses are the poverty thresholds. The Census Bureau provides an explanation of the difference between poverty thresholds and guidelines.[15] The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty.[14] The 2010 figure for a family of 4 with no children under 18 years of age is $22,541, while the figure for a family of 4 with 2 children under 18 is $22,162.[16] For comparison, the 2011 HHS poverty guideline for a family of 4 is $22,350.
