That's probably a combination of:

1) Going into debt for college makes you poor, and

2) A lot of college degrees are just not worth the cost, if you're expecting them to lead to a good income.

But these data don't have anything to do with "being poor" -- it's entirely about income, which is still positively correlated with more education.
