    13.5%

    Explanation:

    During 2015, the poverty line for a single individual under 65 was $11,770 per year, and $23,400 for a family of four. Currently these thresholds have increased to $12,760 and $26,200 respectively (doesn't include Hawaii or Alaska). The official poverty levels (provided by the government) have dropped to 11.8%, and it has been dropping continuously since 2014 when it reached 14.8%. Also, for the first time in 11 years (before the Great Recession), the poverty level is lower than 2007 levels.
