I think it still suggests 37 million in extreme poverty in the US.
I’d also suggest using the Supplemental Poverty Measure for US poverty. Unlike the Official Poverty Measure, it incorporates taxes, non-cash benefits, and variation in local housing costs. The current SPM poverty rate is 9.1%.
You are right. I rephrased it to avoid this misunderstanding. Thank you very much
