YES, but

Overall poverty in Oregon has hovered around the target level since 1993. However, child poverty has worsened (see chart 53a). Oregon and Washington became poorer in relation to the rest of the nation in the past 40 years.

53. Percent of Oregonians with incomes below 100% of the Federal poverty level: overall, a. children 0-17, b. adults 18-64, c. seniors 65 and over.
Explanation: This is a measure of the percentage of the population that is below the Federal poverty level. The U.S. Census Bureau determines poverty status of all people except those in institutions, military group quarters, college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. These groups were excluded from the numerator and denominator when calculating poverty rates. They are considered neither "poor" nor "non-poor."
Target: Target set by Oregon Progress Board.
Data Source: Three year averages for years 1991-1998 and 2000-2001 are based on estimates generated by the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. Three year averages are reported as the mid-year. Year 1999 shows raw 2000 Census data (not a three-year average) and is provided by the Oregon Department of Housing and Community services. Three year averages for 1998 and 2001 use the Census (not CPS) data for 1999. The 2003 County Data Book does not use three year averages. It provides the CPS estimate for each county for each year except for 1989 and 1999. Data for these two years are taken from the 1990 and 2000 Census, respectively.
