ALICE HOUSEHOLDS
The Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed (ALICE) project is a dataset developed by United Way
to identify households that do not fit the official definition of poverty, but still struggle to make ends meet
financially. “ALICE Households” are households that earn an annual income above the federal poverty
threshold, but also don’t earn enough to meet basic minimum living costs as estimate by United Way.
