below the poverty threshold


Explanation:
I think this is a good translation; below the poverty line is also good. Both are used in statistics.
На български също често се използва "под прага на бедността". На мен "под чертата" (особено ако става въпрос за социална статистика) ми звучи странно.

Example sentence(s):
  • The poverty thresholds are the original version of the federal poverty measure (developed by Mollie Orshansky of the Social Security Administration). They are updated each year by the Census Bureau. The thresholds are used mainly for statistical purposes.
