Children Living in Areas of Concentrated Poverty

Since 2000, the percentage of children living in high-poverty communities has increased four points.

Concentrated poverty puts whole neighborhoods, and the people living in them, at risk. High-poverty neighborhoods are much more likely than others to have high rates of crime and violence, physical and mental health issues, unemployment and other problems. High-poverty areas are defined here as census tracts where the poverty rates of the total population are 30 percent or more.
