I sat and asked AI (Grok) how many Greenlanders were living at poverty-level. It spent a good 8 minutes looking at data.
Based on the most recent available data (2023), approximately 9,850 Greenlanders live below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold.
Meaning? They live at 60-percent of the national median equivalised disposable income (after taxes and transfers).
Landscape? It represents 17.4% of the population, the highest such rate among Nordic countries.
Oddly....Greenland does not have an official national poverty line, so this EU-SILC-aligned metric (measuring relative poverty) is commonly used. The figure reflects persons, not households, and highlights ongoing challenges like rural-urban disparities and limited economic diversification.
So....roughly one out of six Greenlanders aren't that thrilled over the current economic situation.
