Take how much it takes for a living wage in the most expensive part of the country.
And that’s it. If you try to shrink wrap it down to where it’s bare subsistence anywhere, you trap people in places where everyone with the means leaves. Sure, the cost of living is low, but there’s no jobs because everyone with money left. So it becomes impossible to get by, let alone amass the funds needed to relocate.
I guess it depends what you plan to use the number for. If you plan to set the min wage on it, you will destroy small businesses in poorer areas, and probably cause the chains to leave those same areas.
This is already happening, but it’s better to keep paying the poor less under all circumstances as far as republicans and centrist democrats are concerned.
Can’t create a permanent subclass of flyover morlocks if you pay them like the blue state eloi.

No jobs will mean no people eventually. That will solve poverty.
Same plan for make America healthy again. Kill off the ones who can’t afford to be healthy.
