About 15.3 percent of Californians lived in poverty during 2009, almost a full percentage point jump from the previous year, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

In addition, 19.9 percent of Californians didn't have health insurance during 2009, up from 18.5 percent the previous year. Those figures represent an additional 500,000 Californians without health insurance. Nationwide, the poverty rate increase from 13.2 percent to 14.3 percent, the census figures showed. The U.S. rate was the highest since 1994. The poverty level for a family of four is $21,954.
