Best Answer

Yes. In the United States, those who live below the poverty line, have on average, a household income of only $18,000 per year; they are considered part of the "bottom 10%" of the population. However, this would put them firmly on the top 20% of countries like Mexico, where the average household income is only $12,800. This means that a poor living in Mexico is poorer -- and would have less assets, a worse diet, or worse health -- than an American poor.
