The poverty rate in urban areas in Indonesia generally increased at the beginning of this year, while poverty in rural areas decreased.

This is evident in the March 2025 Indonesian Poverty Profile report released by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).

According to the report, the percentage of the urban poor nationally reached 6.73% in March 2025, an increase compared to September 2024.

Meanwhile, the percentage of the rural poor in March 2025 reached 11.03%, a decrease compared to September 2024.

Nevertheless, the poverty rate in rural areas remains higher than in urban areas, as shown in the graph.

The number of poor people in rural areas is also higher, at 12.58 million in March 2025. Meanwhile, the number of poor people in urban areas is 11.27 million.

BPS calculates rural and urban poverty rates using different poverty lines.

In March 2025, rural residents were categorized as poor if their monthly expenditure was less than IDR 580,349 per capita.

Meanwhile, in urban areas, residents were classified as poor if their monthly expenditure was less than IDR 629,561 per capita.
