4 1. Summary & Highlights A. Poverty Measures Poverty Level: The poverty rate in Maine is slightly below the national average. However, the census shows that Maine s poverty rate rose slightly (from 1.8% to 1.9%). Maine has 7 more people living below the poverty line now than 1 years ago. Regionally, within Maine, the poverty rate varies from as high as 19% in Washington County to a low of 7.9% in Cumberland County. Regional Shift: Maine s most rural counties still have the highest rates of poverty overall. However, a new pattern is emerging. Between and, there was an identifiable shift in the distribution of persons below the poverty level, largely toward more urban counties. Food Stamp Program Enrollment: The average annual enrollment increased by nearly 8, individuals (4, households) in 22. After a slight dip in mid summer, enrollment began to rise sharply in the fall. Transfer Payments: The portion of household income derived from transfer payments rose again in. Though a greater portion of income in Maine is typically from transfer payments due to the larger portion of elderly in the population (hence a higher portion receiving social security, railroad retirement, and other benefits), Maine s dependence on transfer payments accelerated in the mid s and has remained much higher than the national average since. Insured: The number of people without health insurance is rising. In spite of progressive programs in Maine that have enabled many to obtain health insurance and led to a higher rate of insured in Maine than the national average, the proportion of Maine residents without insurance is increasing and now is almost at the national level. Other indicators remain relatively unchanged. Measures of homelessness and food insecurity show little change. B. Contributing Factors Income: Income in Maine has lagged behind the nation for decades. In, the income gap narrowed to 91% of the national average, but has declined since. In 21, Maine ranked 4 th in per capita and median household income, at 87% of the national level. Income Disparity: Income data from the Census data showed that more Maine households have low incomes and fewer are in high-income categories than the national average. A third of Maine households had incomes below $25, in, 22 Report Card on Poverty 1 Maine State Planning Office
5 compared to only 28% nationally. At the other extreme, only 12% of Maine households (compared to 22.5% nationally) had income in excess of $75,. Earnings: Earnings have been flat. Average annual pay measured by the Dept. of Labor shows slight improvement in 21. The average wage in Maine stands at 8% of the national level, up from a record low 79% the previous year. Employment: Stagnant job growth has been is the key factor slowing income growth. The average annual employment in 22 dropped for the second year in a row. Labor force growth has been flat since. Fewer people are entering the labor force. Labor supply is key to job growth. The unemployment rate in Maine has increased for the past 2 years, though still below the national average. The overall lack of growth in the labor force and people unable to find a job leaving the labor force have kept the unemployment rate lower Mass layoffs also contributed to slowing growth in earnings. For some workers, sidelined by cyclical events the income loss is temporary. Those displaced by downsizing or the demise of firm or industry frequently find new jobs with lower pay. Economic Structure: In 21, half of Maine workers were employed in jobs where the average annual pay is less than $3,. Even in a time of flat job growth, jobs in retail trade and other lower paying industries continued to grow between and 22 while jobs in manufacturing declined and jobs in other relatively higher paying industries remained unchanged. Transfer Payments: Federal data sources show the number of Maine residents receiving government benefits from nearly all federal programs (TANF the only major exception) has increased since. The average monthly benefit in income-based programs (social security, retirement programs, unemployment, disability benefits, etc.) continues to lag behind the average benefit nationally, and can be expected to do so as long as earnings in Maine lag behind the national average. Though cost of living increases keep recipients from slipping further into poverty, most are not as well off as their counterparts in other parts of the country. Benefits from need-based programs, such as Food Stamps and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) lag behind the national average but the gap narrowed in 21, suggesting a growing need pushing benefits upward. 22 Report Card on Poverty 2 Maine State Planning Office
6 2. Measures of the Extent of Poverty A. Poverty Estimates The latest estimates of poverty released by the Census Bureau for 21 shows the overall poverty rate in Maine to be holding consistently below the national average (1.3% compared to 11.5% nationally). However, the method used by the Census Bureau to estimate the poverty rate in years between the decennial census yields estimates of poverty that are conservatively low. For instance, the census showed that Maine s poverty rate stood at 1.9% while the bureau s estimates indicated 9.8%.

7 The federal poverty level itself is a bare bones income figure below which individuals will have difficulty achieving even the most basic lower level standard of living. The decennial censuses provide additional detail about the conditions of poverty. One of the most useful data items is the ratio of income to the poverty level. The ratio shows not only how poor the poor are, but also the portion of the population whose income lies within a short distance of the poverty level, i.e., the near poor. In general, most persons with income that is below 185 2% of the poverty level have inadequate resources to meet basic needs. Nearly 3% of Maine s population had income below 2% of the federal poverty guideline according to the Census. This amounts to 367, individuals.

19 D. Relationship of Economic Structure and Earnings The Department of Labor recently adopted a new system of classifying industries, commonly referred to as NAICS, or North American Industry Classification System. Previously the old system, which divided industries into ten categories had been used in this report. The Bureau of Labor Statistics began to use the new 2-sector system is used for the annual pay survey this year. The new NAICS categories are substantially different from the previous ten and are not comparable. $6 Wages (avg. annual) by Industry, 21 $5 $51,21 $49,888 Average Pay ($thous) $4 $3 $2 $28,937 $41,63 $39,981 $39,96 $36,448 $36,46 $32,488 $3,96 $29,97 $29,93 $28,818 $27,2 $24,894 $24,353 $22,962 $2,41 $19,837 $16,472 $1 $12,334 $ Total (avg, all emp.)

36 End Notes Community Food Security: The statistics on food insecurity and hunger in the U.S. are based on a survey measure developed by the U.S. Food Security Measurement Project, an ongoing collaboration among Federal agencies, academic researchers, and private commercial and nonprofit organizations. The measure was developed over the course of several years in response to the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of (NNMRR). After data for states was not published annually in the survey. State level data was once again provided in 21, but as a 3-year average, combining the survey results for the past 3 years (-21). ERS believes that the 3-year average is more reliable due to the small sample size in the annual surveys and the high margins of error they create. Due to the changes in measurement, 21 state level food security statistics cannot be compared directly with those of previous years. Income Distribution: Income data by quintile for Maine has not been available from the Census Bureau since though the disparity among quintiles is estimated nationally each year. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities computed income by quintile for states that are based on moving 3-year averages. The data from this source was included 2 years ago. No new figures are available until the detailed information from the Census becomes available. Adequacy of Transfer Payments: In, participation rates were included along with benefit level data. This has been continued. However, consistent annual data for some of the programs (TANF and Medicaid) has become unavailable. Non-Governmental Services: The search continues for a reliable and consistent measure of services provided by private agencies. Anecdotal information indicates that such nonprofit entities fill a major gap for people who do not qualify for or choose not to accept public forms of assistance. Food pantries and soup kitchens represent one group of such services for which a method of collecting consistent data is under consideration. Risk Populations: Data for at risk populations has been lacking for intercensal years. The three risk populations identified include elderly and disabled, children, and working low-income adults. Data from the census has been included in this report. Printed under account # 17B Report Card on Poverty 33 Maine State Planning Office
