Abstract: Abstract This study aims to determine the characteristics of low income households and the factors influencing household poverty based on food and non-food expenditure in Pangkep Regency, using secondary data from the 2022 National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS). The method of data analysis used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the characteristics of low income households were that the head of the family had only elementary school education, was male sex, had an average of 3 family members, and worked in the informal sector such as agriculture, plantation, fishery, motorcycle and car repair, warehousing, and age. Head of household for more than 64 years. Three factors affect the expenditure of poor households: education, number of family members, and age, while employment status is not different. The dominant factors of household poverty in Pangkep Regency are education, number of family members, and age. These findings indicate that household poverty occurs due to one of the leading causes of low levels of education. One of the efforts to improve the welfare low income households or, in other words, live above the poverty line is to improve the quality of human resources in the sector and the government’s efforts to provide business assistance and improve poverty alleviation programs to increase the income of household heads working in informal sector so that the percentage of poverty in Pangkep Regency decreases and people can live in prosperity.
