The results of the Survey on Living Conditions and Income (EU-SILC) carried out in 2024 on income from the previous year indicate that 16.6% of residents in Portugal were at-risk-of-poverty. In 2023, the risk of poverty was higher for women, for the elderly and for people with disabilities, unemployed, less educated and residents in the Região Autónoma dos Açores.

In 2024, the poverty or social exclusion rate was 19.7%, below the European Union average (21.0%), affecting 2,095 thousand people.

The results of the 2025 survey will be made available next December.
