New Federal income limits are out, and the numbers may not surprise you. A single person living in San Francisco, Marin, or San Mateo Counties who makes about $104,000 dollars per year is considered low-income. 

According to a report from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, income levels have increased across most of the state along with the cost of living.  

The low-income designation qualifies an individual for certain programs, like affordable housing. By comparison, $70,000 is considered low-income in Los Angeles.
