The study used a cross-sectional survey methodology, gathering data from 267 households. The study reveals that a significant proportion of households, approximately 35.6 % headcount poverty, highlighting the extent of economic vulnerability. The Feasible Generalized Least Squares estimation was adopted to estimate the vulnerability to the poverty status of the respondents; results showed that 99.9% were vulnerable to becoming poor in the future. It is found that key socio-demographic factors, such as household size, gender disparities, educational status, and limited access to essential services significant associated with household poverty. In the study area of Female-headed households, 34.8% have low educational levels, contributing to limited employment opportunities. This analysis underscores the importance of education and stable employment in mitigating vulnerability. Another factor of increasing household sizes and inadequate access to utilities like proper sanitation and electricity further impede economic mobility. In the study Informal employment 66.6% and reliance on informal support networks highlight that many households experience financial instability. However the government support programs, such as skills training, are available. Food subsidies for microfinance benefit some, but their underutilization highlights the need for improved outreach and accessibility.
