Abstract: Abstract Based on the report of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2022, the extreme poverty rate in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province is in the lowest position at 4.45 percent above the national percentage (3.85 percent). Although it is relatively low compared to the national percentage, the problem of extreme poverty must still be a concern, this is because this problem is closely related to people’s welfare and has an impact on the economy. This study was conducted to see the characteristics of extreme poverty. The sample in this study was the entire population, namely the poor people in decile one in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, totaling 17,319 people. The data used is secondary data sourced from the BKKBN of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, which is the poor population in decile 1 which is assumed to be the population that is extremely poor. The analysis will be carried out using the tabulation method to determine the characteristics of extreme poverty. The variables observed are age, education, number of Family members, jobs, living conditions in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Based on the results of data processing, information was obtained that the extreme poor population in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province is dominated by residents aged 41-50 years. With the majority working as freelancers or casual laborers, with the majority only graduating from elementary school. The majority of the extreme poor have one family member with a source of income to meet basic needs per month. The living conditions of the extreme poor are still diverse, ranging from floors and roofs, some are zinc, tiles and asbestos. Including the walls of the house are still made of wood and some are already walls. As for lighting, toilets and drinking water sources, the majority are good and have these facilities.
