Band 9: The table below shows information about age, average income per person and population below poverty line in three states in the USA. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting and make comparisons where relevant.

The table chart compares the salaries of the population in California, Utah, and Florida in the USA. Overall, the share of poor people and average income in California was the largest, while that of Utah was the least among the three states. Meanwhile, there were more people aged under 18 than those over 60 in California and Utah, but conversely in Florida.

In Florida, as the largest share of residents are aged over 60, the rate was 23% in Florida, while 16% of residents in this state were under 18 years old. Meanwhile, in Utah, the young generation under 18 comprised 28%, while the old generation over 60 only contributed 8%. Similarly, in California, the percentage of the teenage population was 4% higher than that of the elderly, accounting for 17% and 13%, respectively.

At the same time, though the poverty rate in California was the highest at 16%, the average income in this state was dominated, at 23,000. In contrast, with the lowest poor rate, the average salary was 17,000 in Utah. Between them, Florida has 12% of the population below the poverty line, and residents can earn 22,000 dollars on average.
