MODERATORS
It doesn't include the 11% who meet the definition of poverty. Based on the definition on the ALICE page, it's 29% of households above the poverty line who still can't afford the basics. It doesn't include people with inadequate savings who are making ends meet, albeit paycheck to paycheck, but who aren't trying to choose between rent/food/transportation and racking up credit card debt.
