Poverty is a condition where a person is unable to fulfill his basic needs. Solutions need to be found to overcome or at least reduce poverty. To overcome the problem of poverty, indicators need to be considered that affect poverty levels. In this study poverty is seen through two dimensions, namely Health Quality and Economic Quality. This research was conducted to determine poverty indicators based on dimensions of health quality and economic quality with the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is used unidimensionally to identify indicator variables that can measure health and economic quality. The analysis used was 25 districts and 8 cities in North Sumatra Province. The results showed that health quality can be measured through 10 indicators and economic quality can be measured also through 10 indicators.

INTRODUCTION Poverty is a condition where a person is unable to fulfill his basic needs such as clothing, food, shelter, education and proper health. Poverty has become a global problem, where every country has community members who are below the poverty line. The most important purpose of poverty measures is to enable comparisons of poverty. This is needed for the overall assessment of an area's poverty alleviation process or evaluating a particular policy. the measurement or operationalization stage of research variables Analysis Factor Confirmatory (CFA) itself is known as a statistical tool that is useful in determining the form of the construct of a set of manifest variables, or testing a variable on the assumptions of the manifest that builds it. Analysis Factor Confirmatory (CFA) itself is known as a statistical tool that is useful in determining the form of the construct of a set of manifest variables, or testing a variable on the assumptions of the manifest that builds it. So Confirmatory Analysis is very suitable for testing a theory of variables on the manifest or the indicators that build it, where the variables are assumed to only be measured by these indicators.
