Abstract

The significant and increasingly complex issue of poverty poses a considerable challenge to Indonesia's development, including West Sumatra Province, with a poverty rate was 5.92% in 2022. The government has initiated programs to address poverty by focusing on the criteria of impoverished households. Data on impoverished households can be obtained through the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas). One method that can classify impoverished households is the decision tree. Decision tree is a flowchart that resembles a tree. The C4.5 algorithm used in this research has the ability handle discrete and continuous data, manage variables with missing values, and prune decision tree branches. The result of the analysis shows that the variables affecting the classification of poor households are the number of household members, then the age of the household head, type of house floor, type of house wall, source of drinking water, and cooking fuel. The accuracy of the test data using a confusion matrix is 69.89%, sensitivity of 71.15% for classifying regular households, and specificity of 68.72% for classifying impoverished households.
