Resumen
Descripción
Concentrated poverty has increased in the
U.S. over the last decade, particularly in
nonmetropolitan areas and in areas with
distinct racial/ethnic minority populations. Historical regional concentrations of high
poverty persist in the South, but there is
evidence of emergent concentrations in
the West and Midwest. The spread of nonmetropolitan
concentrated poverty is associated with
the recent economic recession and the
slow pace of the recovery.
