Note 1.

To convert to other family sizes, divide these values by 2 (the square root of the reference family size of four persons) and then multiply by the square root of the desired family size. For example, if the MBM threshold for a given region is $27,500 for the reference family of two adults and two children, to convert this threshold to a three-person family, the following calculation is made:
($27,500 ÷ 2) × (square root of 3) ==> $13,750 × 1.732 ==> $23,816
To convert the threshold to a two-person family, the following calculation is made:
($27,500 ÷ 2) × (square root of 2) ==> $13,750× 1.414 ==> $19,445
To convert the threshold to a single-person family, the following calculation is made:
($27,500 ÷ 2) × (square root of 1) ==> $13,750 × 1 ==> $13,750
