In 2013, 115,551 people were living below the poverty line in D.C., according to new numbers from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

That number is statistically unchanged from 2012, but is up from 16.4 percent in 2007. Of the over 115,000 people living in poverty, 29,705 were under the age of 18 and 86,279 were African American. The poverty threshold in 2013 for a single person was $11,888 and $23,834 for family of four.

Of the 64,846 people over the age of 25, 39.3 percent had less than a high school diploma. Of the 88,773 people over the age of 16, just 4,720 — or 1.9 percent — worked full-time during the entire year. Just over 26,000 people worked either part-time or for part of the year, and 57,350 did not work at all.

Meanwhile, the median household income in D.C. was $67,572 in 2013, up slightly from $66,583 in 2012. Nearly 11 percent of households earned income and benefits less than $10,000, while 14.9 percent were in the $50,000 to $74,999 range and 15.5 percent were in the $100,000 to $149,999 range.

“Not only is the recovery not reaching a large share of D.C. families, changes to D.C.’s economy are actually making it harder for many residents to maintain their foothold, Jenny Reed, deputy director of the DC Fiscal Policy Institute, said in a release. “Wages have fallen and jobs are scarce for residents without a college degree, making it harder to afford the basics like housing and food.”
