Ordinal regression Partial Proportional Odds Model (PPOM) found the best model with independent variables: Number of Household Members, Age, Defecation Facilities, Diplomas, Lightning, Main Activities, and Access to Clean Water, and all these variables significantly affect the status of poor both Extreme Poor, Poor, and Near Poor levels. It was found that Odds Ratio was very different at the Extreme Poor level. It was concluded that this category had different tendencies from other levels. Handling the extreme poor with various conditions requires different handling than the poor.
