Poverty Rates by Age: 1959 to 2013 The official poverty rate declined from 15% to 14.5%, but this decline was driven entirely by a drop in the number of children living in poverty. The rate looks much worse for working-age adults (i.e., 18-64 year-olds) While working-age poverty was about 9% in 1968 and 10-11% in the 1980s, since the Great Recession, it has hovered around 13.6%.
