An Interactive Look At America's Poor
Presumably based on only partially fudged BLS data...
Poverty is defined as making less than $10,991 for a household of one, $14,051 for two and so forth.

This is why I'm moving to NH.
I just cancelled my trip to Mississippi.
Pray, why? All the cheap . . . uh, service one could want.
As some folks say in West Virginia, "thank God for Mississippi". We usually avoid being ranked 50th in negative stats on their account :P
In Arkansas, we say that about Mississippi too.
In the Ukraine they say that about Mississippi too.
"????????? ???? ?? ?????????"
A big weakness in this chart is not accounting for cost of living. Might be able to get by in Texas, but have to live off of whale blubber in Alaska.
this should really be adjusted for price level.
Maybe it is?? You'd think it would be, but then again its the government.
It would be hard enough to get by on 20 grand in the South or Midwest, but I can't imagine how difficult it would out west or up East. Most people that have kids and make that kind of money are one misstep away from living in the parent's basement or a shelter. Or a van down by the river.
I am sure these graphs will trend up in the next few years, unless the fry cook at McDonald's position increases to a $40,000 salaried position and they don't adjust for inflation.
Looks like a disaster zone. Bankster crime scene.
What I'd REALLY like to see is a multi-level map showing:
Funny thing ... I tried overlaying a map of political leaning over a map of areas most affected by the subprime crisis. The correlation between Democratic leaning and subprime mortgage default was very strong -- particularly where you see on this map, where you have the heavily Democratic areas along the southern Mississippi, Arizona, and south-central California.
How about a time lapse map where it changes from light to dark, like they have for the unemployment change over the past few years.

Marseille has been crippled by strikers. A fleet of huge ships cruises offshore, unable to dock, their lights reflecting against the still waters of the port at night. From the air it looks like a giant game of Battleships.
In the city centre, streets are still piled high with rubbish after the refuse collectors joined dock workers, train drivers, students and airport staff who have brought the city almost to a standstill.
"This city looks like a war zone," said William Paterson, an American-French lawyer who has lived there for 18 years. "How can this be allowed to happen?"
The Foreign Office urged Britons to stay away from protests and warned that industrial action could affect half-term holiday plans. On Friday 700 riot police fought running battles with rampaging youths through the streets of Lyon.
Strikes at oil refineries, which began in Marseille in September, caused panic buying and nationwide shortages – one in five petrol stations were empty yesterday.
In the city, streets were blockaded. The normally bustling port of Fos-sur-Mer, half an hour away, was eerily empty; it looked more like a disused set for a science-fictions film than France's biggest oil refinery. The staff canteen in the docks was empty; knives and forks were set for workers who had not shown up. Tanker lorries queued up at the locked gates for oil that had not arrived.
Although much of the French middle class does support the right to strike many are beginning to object to having vital public services cut off.
An opinion poll broadcast by Canal Plus television on Friday showed that most French voters backed the strikes, by a margin of 69 per cent to 29 - but that 52 per cent opposed the blockade of refineries. Yesterday the Right-wing newspaper Le Figaro published the results of another survey which found 56 per cent of respondents wanted the protests to end once the pension reform is passed. A third still support the strikes, though, and only 26 per cent were strongly opposed.
It is a struggle on which Mr Sarkozy, suffering historically low poll ratings, has staked his political future. His government cannot afford to back down on the austerity measures – either economically or politically – and the unions are not prepared to back down.
Riad Khemissa, 17, was sitting on his scooter outside the empty Lycée Régional Montgrand – a high school of approximately 600 students in central Marseille.
The door to the school was blocked with bins, bags of fetid rubbish and the charred remains of a fire that had blazed perilously close to the building.
Scores of police in body armour and dark sunglasses watched students.
"We are outside class to support the workers," said Riad. "We are the next generation, and we should all be worried about these new work laws. But it is cool not to be in school," he added with a grin.
As she spoke, sirens wailed and army trucks rumbled past, transporting teams to clear the city's streets, dressed in white protective clothing that looked more suited to the aftermath of nuclear war than rubbish collection.
Officials advised the public to beware of rats and diseases, with an estimated 9,000 tons of rubblish in the streets.
But while Marseille struggled to restore order, the men causing the bins to overflow were gathered on wasteland coordinating the disruption, drinking beer and playing petanque besides their rubbish trucks.
"We want the French people to realise the significance of what is happening," said Sebastien Cravero, 31, a refuse collector. "We won't ever accept this measure. We've blockaded a food depot, we blockaded Marseille airport, we are supporting the oil workers strike. It's a cat and mouse game with the police.
"When they have nothing left to eat and no more petrol, they will need to back down."
Mr Cravero and his band of 60 striking refuse collectors claim that they have the support of the people, who are fed up with Mr Sarkozy's perceived wealth and "bling" while he enacts austerity measures.
The French unions on Friday called for two more national strikes – on Thursday this week and on Saturday Nov 6.
France's main student union UNEF also called on its members to take to the streets on Tuesday, to show the government that the wider protest movement was not fizzling out during the half-term school holidays.
So what advice would he give to the British, who have just been told that their legal retirement will rise to 67? "Join the uprising. It's time to revolt."
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/8082814/Marseill...
Why would they not strike and riot?
Promise me retirement at 60 then move it up two years after you give billions and trillions to the bankers?
Why are people in the U.S. not rioting? Where is our courage now? Where are the patriots; scrubbing toilets for Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon?
Too much football on T.V. or at the high school to worry about a corrupt Kelptocracy bending us and our kids over?
"Why are people in the U.S. not rioting? "
I believe that human nature is the one constant throughout time and cultures.
If more than 50% of US Citizens were not getting US Gov dole in some form; food stamps, SS, Medicare, rent subsidy, and a host of other benefits, we would be experiencing in the US what is happening in France.
When the US Dole stops, hell will be coming to breakfast.
Retire at 62? Cry me a river!!! These folks need to join the real world, not the fantasy land of make-believe economics.
Now rioting based on bank-bailouts of the rich and greedy - that would be reasonable. Rioting put the banksters in jail, and restore the rule of law, perfectly acceptable.
The fact that do not riot over these issues, but instead retirement age is very telling of the attitudes of these folks.
Good to see the French markets continue to rally in the face of crippling strikes.
Of course, how silly of me, Bernanke's going to print a gazillion Dollars and nobody in the world is ever going to need to work again...
What's up with Eastern Kentucky? Full of po' people but then walk across the border to Virginia and all there are is rich folk. Strange.
There seems to be a lot of poverty in the south central portion of the United States like Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, even Georgia. Seems to be more poverty than average in Texas, too.
Does anyone know the political affiliation of these states, by chance?
God/Guns/Guts/Trucks 2012
Actually the poor areas in the Appalachians are mainly union/food-stamp/social security areas leftover from the mining days (mining still big money but fewer employees due to mechanization). The super-poor areas along the Mississippi river are mainly black democrat enclaves. So, you fail at stereo-typing. Learn some cultural geography.
While your mustache is certainly impressive, I do believe it is warping the most of the space in front of your eyeballs.
Trim your stash, and take another look at the map - it is not just a Mississippi River phenomenon. There are red dots all over those states - not just along the river.
And besides, since when did the Mississippi River wind through Texas and Georgia? Of the most populous states in the union, Texas has the most poverty.
Those south central states are solidly Republican, so whatever Negros happen to live near the river, they must be far outnumbered by Republicans elsewhere in the state.
Right...
And Obamacare / Cap'n Trade / Hate Crime Laws are gonna lift us right out of poverty. You're a real f**king genius. You should get an award or something. Please bestow us mere mortal rednecks with more of your heavenly insight.

You can quote me... bought and paid for whores, all of them are or will become.
Fucking Palin with the button? Really? you fucking dim wit.
Large numbers of illegals in alot of those areas and yes, also blacks.
Look up some the actual counties they show- its pretty much a dead on breakdown of the proportion of non whites. Yes, there are certianly plenty of poor whites in some of the heavily rural areas but unemployment and poverty are far higher among the non whites and this is what you see on the map.
Wyoming is the new killing it
here in North Dakota the recession really did end in 2009....have not been to Wyoming for years, but I can imagine that they are killing it too!
MSM is starting to look at the Unemployment issue. 60 minutes has something on this Sunday, and here is an article and link to the video.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/21/60minutes/main6978943.shtml?ta...
Pelley brought up the issue that jobs are not coming back, people are running out of UE benes and that the 9.7% UE number does not tell the story, that the real number is 17%, and in San Jose it is 20%
Maybe they are starting to "get it".
I think not: fodder for Krugman's call to spend trillions more. We will see cbs come out with 60 mins supporting mega QEII, "think of the children"..MSM just doing their masters bidding.
can't be too bad, a hotel for dogs was just built: http://westlake.thebarkleypethotel.com/
Weighed down by a struggling economy, government agencies in California shed 37,300 workers last month — more jobs than were lost in the private sector — as cities and counties made their biggest payroll cutbacks since at least 1990.
What's more, analysts see more job cuts ahead as California faces an estimated $10-billion shortfall in the state budget that the next governor must address. Cities and counties, meanwhile, are still struggling with tepid sales and property tax revenue.
http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2010/10/california-cut-37000-...
I don't understand this.
Texas has a higher poverty rate than Nevada?
8.5% of Texans are unenemployed while 14.2% of Nevadans are unemployed (according to google stats). But the poverty rate is higher in Texas?
How does that work? I guess it really does pay to not have a job.
Nope, look again. The areas with the highest poverty in TX are either near the border ("New Americans" on welfare) or near a Democrat enclave city like Houston. Yes, GWB claims to hail from TX, but TX was a deeply Democrat State until Ma Richards pissed off the electorate and people starting voting Rethuglican in droves. Although the governor is a Rethuglican, most of the State Legislators are still Demos.
In addition, the cost of living in TX is much less than other States. Salaries are lower but you get more bang for your buck. You can still buy a 3 bedroom with a large backyard (acre) for 100K. 300K homes, away from large cities, are very rare unless they have some land with it (100 acres or so)
"but TX was a deeply Democrat State until Ma Richards pissed off the electorate and people starting voting Rethuglican in droves."
Ann Richards had some impact but the real change was caused much earlier by LB Johnson (Democratic President from Texas). Johnson gave away the South to Republicans by introducing the 'Great Society' programs.
"The Great Society was a set of domestic programs proposed or enacted in the United States on the initiative of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Two main goals of the Great Society social reforms were the elimination of poverty and racial injustice."
Notice the Wiki reference to 'elimination of racial injustice'.
If one is a southerner, as I am, one is aware that 'elimination of racial injustice', including Jim Crow laws, was a stinging slap in the face to poor Southerners that had always looked down on blacks as an 'inferior race'. Once the Jim Crow laws were for the large part declared unconstitutional many Southerners were incensed and stopped backing the party of FDR.
BTW, I was glad that LB Johnson took the steps that he did in an attempt to rid the South of some of the injustices that had lingered against blacks since slavery was abolished 100 years earlier. But, make no mistake, racial tensions still exist not only in the South but in most parts of the US. If you don't believe me google 'Jena Louisiana' for a recent example of Southern small town injustice applied to black HS students.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society
"A number of events took place in and around Jena (Louisiana High School) in the months preceding the Barker assault, which have been linked to an alleged escalation of racial tensions. These events included the hanging of nooses from a tree in the high school courtyard"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jena_Six
OMG...the INJUSTICE to those poor negroes, 6 of which beat the living hell out of a white kid in a CLEAR hate crime.
I can't imagine how mindfucked you are to think the injustice in Jena was against black HS students
Are you glad to STILL be paying for a socialist money pit like the great society? The name gives it away - kind of like China's "great leap forward" which actually was a step backward.
You clearly don't understand social programs - it was never about eliminating poverty or injustice. If it was, and considering the amount of money that is still being spent on this fabricated issue, it would have been solved. Follow the money, and you'll discover why it is a failure.
The jena reference is just laughable. The link you provided will only convince people you didn't read it before you posted. BTW, the identities of the noose hangers was never revealed, according to your wiki. That most likely means the perps are black. If they were any other race, it would have been splashed on the front page of every outlet. The only thing you left out is the "eenie meenie minie moe" lawsuit and the chickenhead-in-the-nuggets mickie-d's incident, and even the noose-on-the-doorknob incident, which nobody will ever know the truth about because the relevant facts of the case point to the culprit being the person sitting in the office upon which said doorknob was decorated. We can be pretty certain she set it up, because they have refused to release the evidence.
Like a lot of other folks, I tend to ignore even the most mundane racial grievances. They are all breathless fabrications of questionable incidents, and the victims often turn out to be the perps, and the perps the victims.

You are a moron. Many of the people in deep south Texas have been in there longer than your ancestors have been on this continent. Oh, and it's Democratic, not Democrat dickwad.
" Many of the people in deep south Texas have been in there longer than your ancestors have been on this continent."
Unless you are of American Indian or Spanish decent the 'people in deep south Texas' have been there longer than you. In fact, Texas was stolen from the Mexicans and the American Indians.
And, my relatives were in America prior to the Revolutionary War with the Brits.
Why don't you add something constructive to the discussion? I will be glad to have a debate with you, but first you have to bring something to the debate. Calling other posters morons without on topic facts is, well, moronic.
" In fact, Texas was stolen from the Mexicans and the American Indians."
It's not quite that simple. At the time of the "Mexican War", Mexico laid claim to the Texas territory on the basis of some 7,800 Mexican settlers living there--versus approx. 30,000 U.S. gringo settlers.
If we're going to cast it in terms of "stealing", the land was first stolen by the Spanish from a dozen or more indigenous tribes, most of whom had no concept of land ownership. It was simply something they camped on, trudged across and hunted over.
Next, Mexico "stole" the land from the Spanish "stealers", only to see it stolen by the U.S., claiming entitlement on the basis of "It's ours, because we have more settlers there, you don't know what to do with the land you already have, and besides, our army is down there staking it out."
We like the sense of moral superiority we get by using the term "stealing", but in truth, does anyone ever really "own" more than the six feet of ground they get buried in?
Property rights are a useful economic and political construct. That's about it.
Better to say they did not have the conform papers.
This dovetails very nicely with this chart:
With the exception of the Hudson, lots of clustering around major rivers.
Been that way since time immemorial Prophet. Civilizations rise and fall around rivers.
Now, the rivers are dead/dying/polluted and so is the populace they support.
Such a sign of the times. As go the rivers, so goes man-unkind!

Is there any way to remove the Lenovo ad that is obscuring half my map. Even when I click on it it doesn't go away. Shame

The fact that almost all those states show a steady increase in poverty the younger you are should be very telling for people that the U.S. is FUCKED.
Very interesting is to look north and south of the mason-dixon line.
In effect, nothing changed anything. Not Suffrage, not the abolition of slavery, not even the free movement of people across state lines.
If I were in the US, I'd move north of the MD line in a hurry.
ORI
http://aadivaahan.wordpress.com
You know nothing of the U.S., stay in India. I can assure you every city on the Eastern seaboard north and south of the Mason-Dixie line is a festering rat hole.
"You know nothing of the U.S., stay in India."
ORI doesn't throw rocks inside his Indian caste system glass house...he hoards them to throw at others...ROTFL.
Funny nm, out of context too. You know nothing about how I feel about India or about the cast system.
The US is the focus of the collective global attention because it has asked for it, at the barrel of a gun and an ugly boot heel. Payback is and always has been a bitch. I suggest you develop a little humility. OR someone is going to teach it to you at the barrel of a gun and a boot heel.
PS: I share my barbs freely. To check out how I feel about India, do pay my blog a visit. Or don't. All good.

"Funny nm"
Glad we could share a laugh.
"I suggest you develop a little humility."
Exhorting me to find humility?...from someone as humble as you?...LOL.
I "suggest" you work within your country to do the things that must be done for your people there, instead of suggesting what people do here. I've been advocating they move back north of the mason dixon all my life.
They never listen...LOL.
Keep the America envy/jealousy/bashing down to a dull roar and we won't have to air out your country's dirty laundry in a public space...we should be able to get along just fine then ORI ;-)
I'm an equal opportunity basher NM.
All good. This verbal exchange is worth 2cents and bit in the big picture anyways.

http://aadivaahan.wordpress.com
"I'm an equal opportunity basher NM."
I try to be as well ORI.
"This verbal exchange is worth 2cents and bit in the big picture anyways."
Down here...you're correct.
But sharing our thoughts, in a public forum, on a hot thread, is an attempt to influence and/or share a counter point of view that another may not have thought of or explored. Having lived to the ripe old age of 51...LOL...I have found that there are things I intuitively know to be true that a younger person (for whatever reason) does not know.
By the way...the state of Mississippi (south of the Mason Dixon...LOL) was richer than the state of New York before the WBTS...it was broken financially afterwards and reduced to the poverty level it is today.
As in the case of Jim Limber Davis things are not always as they appear to be or they have not been taught for political reasons...which is unfortunate...as it removes important details from the canvas of history ;-)
Have you visited Bombay?
Suisse, perfectly happy here. Thanks. Nice place you used to live in, now it's full of arrogant, reactive asses like you.
Also, Mr. American (or is it Miss, are you a Suisse Miss? Cannot tell due to your metrosexual sounding name), it's not the Mason-Dixie line... it's the mason dixon line.
The Dixie is something you whistle of play.
And I'll bet one thing, in my 12 years in the US, probably saw more of it than you, had meaningful interactions with a greater cross section of society than you and have a deep and abiding sense of what America is REALLY all about.
It's not about jerks like you, for sure. I suggest you study some of your own history as you whistle the Dixie.

http://aadivaahan.wordpress.com
Completely mistaken.
A veyr large portion of the southern "poor" are sitting on a few acres of prime land. Should a major meltdown and/or social unrest occur, the starvation map will be the inverse of what you see here.
Since mv=pq, prices are cheaper in the poor areas and the cost of living is less.
Having grown up during the 50s & 60s in Missi'pi, the commonality of the counties with the most poverty is that they are 75%+ black and lopsidedly agricultural. They were poor when Miss. was a democrat fiefdom 50+ years ago and always will be due to the "system". You have tons of registered democrats who vote their party locally but not nationally who are to the right of Attila The Hun.
The same goes for smilar counties in Alabama. As Bill Blount remarked to me in the mid-70s, "You're an idiot. Become one of us (democrat), move to Montgomery and we'll all make a million dollars by the time we're 30."
American Poverty. Not going to be an Oscar winning movie, I suspect.

This going to be one of my last posts for a while. I'll be back in December.
Then again in Marchish.
I have 36 hrs left.
Yay is me. I hate Michigan. I hate that I got foolishly involved in a bubble, but then again how was I to know. I'm tired of being funemployed and broke and recently girlfriendless.
Army will pay me little to fight a pointless war. I guess the upside is money and physical fitness. First couple checks are going straight to Silver Bullion safe-kept by family.... btw who is a good dealer with little to no overcharge? I'm not bothering with Ameritrade or Vanguard (I have accounts) as far as I can tell they only deal securities.
I know many here don't like me because of various reasons. But whatever. I don't care. Be lucky you got jobs and career and money to invest. For me and many of my millennial generation friends here in WASPy Michigan we are largely funemployed/underemployed by magnitudes/ or caught in the silly notion that college guarantees success. Most of us don't know nor care about the pending inflation/economic ruin to come next year or 2012 that'll set us back even further after we already got slaughtered by 2008. Not to say you didn't but I feel this a largely Boomer and X'er crowd here at ZH who are already established and successful and have much better chances are continuing their success.
For those wondering about depressing or offensive posts. The reason: I mock and laugh at dark things that I see coming because I have no other recourse. Feeling non-productive in general sucks. Feeling non-productive because you were tricked into a false career move in college is even worse. I cannot make someone hire me I can only offer and debate my qualities. But then again I am one against thousands.
I'm hoping that the military puts me in a better mood. But ironically the thing I hate most (government, not military) is something I will be part of. Which to me is a sad state of affairs because it is hypocritical of me but I feel somewhat forced because that same entity is largely responsible for the circumstances and perverse incentives surrounding me. Finally it's the only entity I know that will pay me for to "work" and looks good on a resume and doesn't make look a welfare queen.
Idk. I'm just feeling rather anxious and reflective as my time and money left dwindles here at home.
Sorry for the ranting and bitchy and crying and complaining. I just feel like I hit the end the end of the line.
Good luck, stay safe.
There are many successful here as well who feel they are trapped by a system in which it will never return what it has taken from them. Yet they continue to put in another college loan payment, another mortgage payment, another 401K investment, but for what end? An appropriate headline the other day was titled "Anger of the Honest". In some ways, you are lucky because you have mentally accepted reality well ahead of your "relatively (at the time) more successful" peers.
When the music stops, it will be a terrifying yet justifying moment, one that you were prepared for. One that you mentally saw coming before your neighbor who still was working 80 hour weeks to pay for material things and suddenly realizes it was all a farce praying on his passions of utopia for the good of a few Oligarchs. They will be in a pool of mental anguish for which many will not come out the other side. They will lose everything, their family, their home, their retirement, and more importantly - their sanity.
Be grateful for what you have, find joy and happiness in the simple natural things in life and take the rest as luggage for which you likely need none of.
Time to go to work...
Thanks. I needed to hear that. I hope I come out okay. Just tired of watching things fall apart while I sit idly by and feel trapped to take part of it.
Keep your head down and your wits about you, Soldier. People are quick to bring up the negatives with deployments. Sure, there are plenty of them. But there are positives too. You will be living life to its fullest; not whining about circumstances as your precious time on this earth wastes away. You'll have stories to tell your grandkids and a Band of Brothers that will always be there for you.
I have used Northwest Territorial Mint http://www.nwtmint.com/ for several years. Never had a problem. Good people on the phone. The quoted price includes shipping and insurance. The standard wait time is 6 - 8 weeks for delivery.

hang in there man. alot of us are in the same boat!
If it makes you feel any better, you have time on your side. I've told my kids, that the first 20 years will be tough for them, which will take them to roughly middle age, but then things should considerably improve, so they should finish on a high-note. Kind-off the opposite for me.
On the other hand, I pitty the folks who have just entered retirement now - I at least have some time to plan and prepare.
I don't know what your major is, but focus on skills for building.creating things. The era of getting rich pushing paper arround and importing everything is coming to an end.

Oregon is contemplating laying off a large percentage of it's public sector employees in order to cut the state budget by more than 30%. Since these public sector employees make more money than their private sector counterparts it doesn't take a lot of imagination to see what will happen to consumption figures and tax collections in Oregon.
Here are a few tidbits and a link
1 Schools would close 35 days early in each of the next two years.
2 Department of corrections to close 10 prisons and release 4,100 inmates early. (if they are going to release these inmates early, why are they in jail now?)
3 The Department of Human Services presented a dizzying 29 page list of proposals to cut welfare eligibility, cut off dental care to thousands of poor adults, chop alchol and drug treatments, slash mental health care and end a popular program aimed at helping frail seniors stay in their homes
State officials are worried that budget cutting will also cut matching federal payments.
http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2009/04/oregon_budgetcut_list_trips_al.html
This map is outdated. In preparation for the coming elections, the BLS just lowered the poverty level to $112 per year so that the entire country is now light gray (<10% poverty).
Unfortunately, this also means that anyone making more than $20k per year is now rich and soon to be subject to a 39% marginal income tax.
I don't understand....This chart includes children between the ages of 5-17.
Children are not wage earners...in this country. When you add adults the % is much better.
There is no poverty in Sow Chicahga. Who knew?
