Check out the Guatemala country page and download the new Guatemala PPI and supporting documents.

The Progress out of Poverty Index™ (PPI™) for Guatemala is an easy-to-use, objective client poverty assessment tool. It estimates the likelihood that a participant has income below the National Poverty line, Food Poverty Line, 150% of National, 200% of National, USAID "Extreme" Poverty line, $1.25/day 2005 PPP line, $2.50/day 2005 PPP line, $3.75/day 2005 PPP line, and $5.00/day 2005 PPP line.

Indicators in the PPI are based on Guatemala's 2006 Living Standards Measurement Survey (ENCOVI, Encuesta nacional de Condiciones de Vida). This is the best, most recent household survey available with income or expenditure data. The latest version of the PPI for Guatemala was created in May 2010.
