The approach to poverty has a dynamic character, and there is a growing debate between adopting the one-dimensional or multidimensional approach to define and measure it. This paper aims to measure rural and urban poverty from a multidimensional perspective in the state of Bahia, Brazil, based on population data in that state. The main approaches on this topic were discussed, followed by the measurability of poverty through the application of the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) proposed by Alkire and Foster (2007). The index is composed of ten indicators distributed in three equally weighted dimensions: education, health and standard of living. The largest proportion of private individuals in both rural and urban areas were those referring to the indicators schooling time, sanitation and garbage collection. The results indicated a higher intensity and incidence of multidimensional poverty in rural Bahia, justifying the need for further investigation of the attributes in this area
