2025 ALICE Report from United Way: 8,740 households in Indian River County are in poverty, while another 22,377– are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). The ALICE working households earn above the Federal Poverty Level but less than what’s needed to survive in the modern economy. ALICE families have been overlooked and undercounted by traditional poverty measures. ALICE is the nation’s childcare workers, home health aides and cashiers heralded during the pandemic – those working low-wage jobs, with little or no savings and one emergency from poverty. They are hardworking people one paycheck away from financial ruin. Even using the most conservative cost scenarios for a family’s monthly expenses these ALICE families live on the brink of financial disaster every day — at risk of falling over the precipice when an emergency comes their way.
