<![CDATA[Pemalang regency is a district which has amount of poverty around 16.04%. One of the effort that must be improved in tackling poverty is increasing the accuracy of the government program’s target. The improvement of target accuracy is expected to give the better impact on the welfare of the population. This study classified the poverty status of households in Pemalang regency using C5.0 Algorithm. The poverty status of households is divided into two classes, namely poor and non-poor. There was an imbalance of data in both classes. Data imbalances were handled by using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). From the research that has been done, SMOTE application in classification of household poverty status affected the evaluation value of the model. Previously the model could not classify the minority class and after using SMOTE the model produced an average value of sensitivity 25.80%. SMOTE application increased the average value of specificity from 91.16% to 94.91%. However, SMOTE application decreased the average value of accuracy which originally 91.16% down to 82.2%.Keywords : C5.0, Household poverty, Classification, SMOTE]]>
