The simplest way would be to simply calculate the ratio of those under the poverty line compared to the total population. This would be done by dividing it. pct under poverty line = poverty/total pop. You could then calculate the average between the three counties by adding up the percentages and then dividing by three. If you wanted to calculate a confidence interval I would suggest using free software like R to calculate a logistic regression. I could assist you with this if you would like to schedule a lesson.

yes just calculate the average by using the percentage under poverty for each of the counties. for example if it the three percentages are 15, 20, and 25 the average would be 20. (15+20+25)/3

Thank you! What about if I already have the percent under poverty. So I would just calculate the average with that data?01/04/24
