DOTHAN, Ala. — New data from United for ALICE paints a sobering picture of financial hardship across Alabama. Out of the state’s 2,024,236 households:
-
16% (about 324,705) live below the Federal Poverty Level
-
30% (roughly 604,048) are considered ALICE—Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed
-
That’s a total of 46% of households living below the ALICE Threshold
The ALICE Threshold includes families who earn more than the poverty line but still can’t afford basic necessities like housing, childcare, food, transportation, health care, and taxes.
These are working families who still don’t make enough to get by—and many of us know someone living this reality.
To kick off a statewide conversation on how to better support ALICE households, United Ways of Alabama is hosting a special webinar on June 26 at 1 p.m. The event will include guest speakers and a live Q&A session.

Let’s come together to support ALICE and work toward a more financially secure Alabama.
