The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It can have diverse environmental, legal, social, economic, and political causes and effects.
- When evaluating poverty in statistics or economics there are two main measures: absolute poverty which compares income against the amount needed to meet basic personal needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter, secondly, relative poverty measures when a person cannot meet a minimum level of living standards, compared to others in the same time and place.
- The definition of relative poverty varies from one country to another, or from one society to another.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Poverty article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 96 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
