NAMPA's poverty rate is notably lower than the national figure — 10.5% here versus 12.4% nationally.

Since 2015 the rate has fallen by about 13.1 percentage points.

The federal poverty threshold is the same nationwide and is not adjusted for local housing costs, so a high-cost city can look better on this measure than it feels to residents.
