You mean "relative poverty." Because the amount of absolute poverty in the USA (which is a specific, defined term, as opposed to "relative poverty") is in the fractions of a percent.

This article describes poverty in the USA. It talks about "relative poverty" and the fact that measuring poverty in US cities is often done in a misleading way.
