Poverty in Rural America
What's going on out in Lake Michigan.
2008? Not remotely relevant now.
Theres a map on the front page of the sub right now from 1648.
Not every map has to be from 2020 to be interesting.
I feel like there should be a 30 year rule though. 30 years ago and it’s an interesting look at the times
10 and it’s just similar, but outdated data
Yeah that's an eternity ago
WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE FUCK UP MICHIGAN
I would reject whatever criteria has determined that Kern, Tulare, and Kings county et al in California are urban counties.
And reason #25 that we weight for population rather than just delete/exclude data
Kern county CA, that's literally just desert and emptiness.
And the giant train yard / junk yard called Bakersfield
How are urban vs. rural counties defined on this map?
According to this map Wyoming is killing it
Also, interesting that within Appalachia, poverty seems to increase perfectly along the Kentucky border — whether compared to VA, TN, or even WV
I'm confused, it says the lowest rate of poverty is in Los Alamos County in New Mexico, but every county in New Mexico is shaded either red or white. Am I reading something wrong?
Los Alamos County is that tiny dot in north/central New Mexico. A healthy fraction of its residents are scientists who work at the national lab so it is very much an outlier.
Ah, I see it now. Thanks!
Most of America.
Considering all we know about Californias homeless crisis i might wanna raise my eyebrow slightly in suspicion
it mostly hit cities
Yeah look at my home state Kentucky representing! Woohooo
