fwiw Canada tracks poverty levels using the MBM system which takes into account factors like housing and transportation, and scales for family size and location.
Using that method the poverty threshold is between ~24k CAD and ~100k CAD pre-tax income depending on location and family size (See: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1110010401)
About 10% of Canadians fall below this threshold: https://www.statcan.gc.ca/hub-carrefour/quality-life-qualite-vie/prosperity-prosperite/poverty-pauvrete-eng.htm
(also worth noting that healthcare costs weighs heavily the US figure)
