The leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) is native to the arid regions of Pakistan and India. Male leopard geckos reach a size of 10 to 12 inches long, and female leopard geckos can measure from 7 to 10 inches long. Leopard geckos are known to live more than 20 years.
This is particularly evident when it comes to extreme poverty - individuals and families living at 50% of the poverty line or less. According to the latest census data, 1.5 million Illinoisans live in poverty and close to 700,000 of them are living in extreme poverty.
The states with the lowest deep poverty ratesâthat is, the lowest proportion of people living below 50 percent of their poverty thresholdsâin 2011 were New Hampshire (4.4 percent), Wyoming (4.7 percent), Alaska (4.7 percent), New Jersey (4.8 percent), and Vermont (4.9 percent).nofficial estimates by researchers before that time found a poverty rate in 1914 of 66 percent; 78 percent in 1932; 32 percent in 1947; and 24 percent in 1958.
