New Federal income limits are out and the numbers may surprise you. A single person living in Sonoma County who makes about 70-thousand dollars per year is considered low-income. For a household of four, that numbers rises to 100-thousand dollars per year. San Francisco, Marin, or San Mateo Counties really raise the mark. A single person living in those counties need to make 104-thousand dollars per year to be considered low-income. According to a report from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, income levels have increased across most of the state along with the cost of living. The low-income designation qualifies an individual for certain programs, like affordable housing.
