Understanding Livable Wage and ALICE Household Budgets:

When assessing community well-being, it's important to differentiate between ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Household Budgets and Livable Wage Budgets.

ALICE budgets detail the bare minimum cost of living for working households, revealing the large segment earning above poverty but still struggling to afford essentials. Livable Wage budgets define the income needed for self-sufficiency and a basic standard of living without public aid.

Understanding both is crucial for our communities because:

-ALICE data exposes the hidden financial struggles of our workforce, informing targeted support and development.

-Livable Wage data provides aspirational benchmarks for fair compensation, guiding businesses and economic growth.

Together, these insights can help us to build a more resilient workforce, foster sustainable economic development, and secure funding for initiatives that truly address our community's needs.
