I'm not sure Bond used the best example, but there are vast differences in cost of living across the U.S. I addition. the definition of poverty continues to change depending on who makes that delineation and what types of policies they want to support.

In my opinion, unless I see exactly what this author is referencing to define poverty, I don't take any opinion based on that reference seriously.
