A short article discribing a chart

There is 6% Six percent (6%) [in reports we always write the numerals in full if they begin a sentence. "there is" is not required] of single elderly people and 4% of elderly couples living in poverty.

As for younger adults, single adults are more likely to live in poverty compared with couples. For example, 19% of people from single adults without children were living in poverty and 21% of sole parents were in the same situation. While for the couples without children, the percentage is 7%, and 12% for the couples with children. Also, we can see that people from the families with children have higher poor levels of poverty than those from the families without children.

The average proportion for of all households living in poverty is 11%. According to the chart, the proportion of poor aged people is below this position, while the percentage of most of younger adults living in poverty is higher than the average level.
